Detail Introduction

Retained a fancy for the Strad model. Workmanship well carried out in every detail. Scroll shows the hand of ability but not the mind to create individuality. Sound-holes naturally imitated. Wood always chosen with judgment--never otherwise than prettily-figured. Light red or yellow brown varnish not always of an elastic quality. Made several violas having a full, equal, and resonant tone. Branded and often signed inside with pencil or ink'Fait par Deroux Luthier a Mirecourt 1855' Shops |
