Violin:
Fine Violin c.1680 Amsterdam & c.1820 Betts Shop - B.S. Fendt / Tobin
Preis: £15,000
A Dutch violin back c.1670-80 - recently described as “of the finest quality”. The body and scroll was made *for* this back by the London Betts shop c.1820-30, by Richard Tobin and/or Bernard Simon Fendt II.
The scroll is by Tobin, who made some of the finest London scrolls. The front and ribs are also possibly by him, but more likely B.S. Fendt who did this, as well as the varnishing.
This violin has been given a highest-quality fingerboard, pegs, and bridge/post. The tone is warm and strong when you want it to be. The response across the strings is correctly-balanced, and extremely easy to play on.
The Dutch back is restored with no present issues. The rest is in excellent preservation - Just one crack repair below the treble soundhole.
Tobins can reach £30,000, and £40-50k for Fendts. This violin is priced well-below retail value, and is a good opportunity for anyone wishing to increase value from a cert gained in their own time.
