An excellent buy for a keen player and a superb investment as this is a classic instrument from Amedee Dieudonne.

Characteristics: With a well arched top, this instrument produces a bright and responsive tone which is nicely balanced across the strings. The lower registers have a mellow warmth.

Background: Born in 1890, Amedee Dieudonne learned his violin making skills from Gustave Bazin, son of bow maker Charles Nicolas. He worked for the Darché firm in Brussels before settling in his hometown of Mirecourt around 1920. Over the next 40 years he was extremely productive, building violins for himself and for numerous firms, including Rudolph Wurlitzer, Mangenot and others. Some bear Dieudonné's label while others simply bear workshop labels. He died in 1960.

His work shows high quality craftsmanship and is mainly based on classical Cremonese models. His instruments often bear an orange-red varnish although this one is a golden brown.
