Elegant French Master Violin by Louis Fricot

This fine French master violin has a stylish vertically positioned scroll. With its high table and gentle fluting, this violin was crafted using the finest tone woods. The orange brownish oil varnish gives the top a fine historical look and accentuates the deep flaming of the two-piece maple back.
