Width at Upper Bout: 21" (53.4cm) Width at Centre Bout: 14.5" (36.8cm) Width at Lower Bout: 27.25" (69.2cm) Length of Body: 47" (119.4cm) Depth of Body: 9" (22.9cm) Scale Length: 43" (109.2cm) D-Neck Renovated 2003-4 by Nick Woodward & Martin Hansford of The Violin Shop, Bristol (new neck, fingerboard, & bridge).
Having recently directly compared it to an 1886 Riviere and Hawkes (asking price £19,500.00) and a c.1890 Jerome Thibouville-Lamy (asking price £14,000.00), I can confirm that it holds its own sound- wise magnificently - they really didn't sound twice as good! Consequently, I think it is well worth the asking price despite not having a designer-label - what you hear is what you get!
