As one would expect from a workshop that reigns as a top brand for bridges, it is clear that very good wood is used. This is a masterpiece of a French violin made using the traditional Mirecourt method, which has over 200 years of history, and the techniques unique to Aubert, which has over 150 years of history. It is made in the unique style of the Alain Moinier workshop, with a bright orange-brown varnish and an antique finish that shows shades of color. The back plate, made of a single piece of slab-cut wood with a characteristic cloud-like grain, has clover inlays by purfling on the top and bottom, reminiscent of the works of Maggini. A signed label and a brand are visible inside. The fitting parts (pegs, tailpiece, chin rest) are made of high-quality boxwood. The bridge is the original Aubert Deluxe with a double stamp of Alain Moinier (the surface has been erased due to thickness adjustment). This original style of Alain Moinier is slightly smaller and has a thin neck, and is also lightweight (459g), making it easy for anyone to handle. We recommend this instrument to those looking for a healthy and straightforward instrument in the contemporary (new) category that sounds good. How about a genuine violin (contemporary French) on this occasion? It is a wonderful instrument, so please do not miss this opportunity. Enjoy a carefully selected violin from a specialty store that handles many violins, from new to modern to old violins, with prices ranging from several hundred thousand yen to several million yen. Fully adjusted (bridge adjustment, peg adjustment, sound post adjustment, polishing, cleaning, overall adjustment). There are some scratches and stains from use, but it is in generally clean condition. New nylon strings are installed. It has been adjusted and maintained, so you can use it immediately after tuning.
