Description

An English violin attributed to Charles & Samuel Thompson of London, dating from the 1780s. The instrument is a fine example of late 18th-century English violin making, reflecting the characteristic style of the Thompson workshop. It has been professionally restored and is in good playing condition, ready for immediate use. The violin produces a rich, full and mature tone with strong projection and warmth, well suited to both solo and ensemble playing. A well-preserved example of English making, offering both historical interest and excellent musical performance. Available for trial.
