"Antonius Stradivarius Cremonensis faciebat anno 1721" Laberte Humbert (Laberte Workshop) Made in Mirecourt, France, circa 1920 3/4 size violin Body length: 333mm (3/4 size) This is a 3/4 size Stradivarius model violin made by the Laberte workshop (Mirecourt, France) around 1920. At the time, the Jerome Thibouville-Lamy (JTL) workshop was flourishing in Mirecourt, but the Laberte workshop was also active, rivaling JTL. This Stradivarius model is a genuine French violin, not a lower-end model with hand-painted purfling or press manufacturing. The back is a beautiful single piece, and unusually, the top is also a single piece, making it a remarkable instrument that belies its fractional size. Fractional instruments are mostly inexpensive, and many are discarded after only a few decades, but this instrument is a rare gem that can be used for over 100 years, just like a high-quality full-size violin. There must be many people looking for instruments like this. How about a genuine violin (modern French) for this opportunity? It is recommended for upgrading your instrument as you move up in size.
