The Laberte-Humbert firm was established in 1876 and was one of the main Mirecourt workshops producing violins in the early 20th Century. They produced a very large number of instruments under a number of different names and labels, and at their height in the 1920's employed over 400 people. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe violin is labelled \"Marque Déposée \/ Lugdunum \/ Anno 1910\". The body measures 358mm along the back, 166mm across the upper bouts and 205mm across the lower bouts. It has a two-piece back of well-flamed maple with a broad curl, the ribs and scroll have been selected well to match the back, and the top is a spruce of an even growth. It is finished with honey-amber varnish and rosewood pegs. It is in good condition. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIt has a warm, energetic sound, with an articulate point to it. This combines the sweet sound classic to most French instruments from this era with a broader character, which helps to mellow it out. It is quite easy to play, and opens up well when asked for more intense colours, possessing quite a deep quality when pushed to louder dynamics. It is well balanced across all registers, and would be well suited to a player doing their tertiary study in violin. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePlease contact us if you would like to book an appointment to try this beautiful French violin.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Simply for Strings","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41823145197662,"sku":"20400-305","price":11500.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0014\/2521\/1486\/files\/LugunumViolinfromtheLaberte-HumbertWorkshopMirecourtc.1900Front.png?v=1755232468"},{"product_id":"copy-of-an-antonius-stradivarius-4-4-violin-made-in-czechoslovakia","title":"Copy of an Antonius Stradivarius 4\/4 Violin made in Czechoslovakia","description":"\u003ch3\u003eThis Antonius Stradivarius copy, crafted in Czechoslovakia, offers a rich, warm tone with clarity and depth.\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c!-- split --\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThis Antonius Stradivarius copy, crafted in Czechoslovakia, offers a rich, warm tone with clarity and depth.\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIdeal for the advancing student or dedicated hobbyist, this violin provides a reliable, expressive voice and a solid foundation for musical growth.
