Lewis Lowendall Fecit Berlin Violin

The workshop of Louis Lowenthal (labeled internationally as "Lowendall") produced many exceptional instruments and luthiers at the turn of the 20th Century. This violin is a great example of the German workshop violin art, featuring a brilliant two piece bookmatched maple back with bold flame, and glowing varnish showing years of use and musical enjoyment. The corners are very crisp and strikingly pointed, the peg box is carved with a very pronounced curve, and the stunning book matched maple back has a wide flame which meets at the seam with a strong upwards chevron. The varnish is an orange-brown on an amber ground, with some wear around the bridge feet. The tone of this unique instrument is full and clear, and it can produce a lot of volume. If you're looking to be heard, this may be the instrument for you.
