Antique English Violin, William Laughlin, c. 1896

This English violin crafted by the maker William Laughlin, made in Redditch, England, is a fine example of pre-industrialisation-era craftsmanship. Made in a small workshop with just the master luthier, two apprentice, and a cleaner, it reflects the personal attention and skill that characterised the period. Constructed from high-quality tone woods, including a solid spruce top and maple back, the violin produces a rich, vibrant sound. The warm amber varnish has aged beautifully, showcasing the elegance of late 19th-century English violin making. This rare and carefully crafted instrument is a prized piece for any collector or musician who values historical craftsmanship.

Available in full size 4/4 only.
