1899 James Wilson Violin - Sold

Sold
VG condition. Fine sounding violin from this noted Scottish maker. Pearwood back and sides. Wilson is known to have copied styles and techniques from earlier noted masters, as well as accurately using fine old woods. The C-bouts on this violin are particular interest, as they are "scalloped" between the points - the overall effect is quite nice. Various repairs to top, back, sides and scroll. Excellent earthy tone - one local player says this one 'plays itself'...
