Voller Brothers c.1910

About the instrument:

William (1854-1933), Alfred (1856-1918) and Charles (1865-1949) Voller are amongst the finest copyists in the history of violin making. The range of their copies goes from violins in the general style of to what they termed on their labels an ‘exact copy’; some of these have an almost preternatural ability to conjure the original both in their making and in their brilliantly executed varnish composition and wear.

The violin back, length 353mm, is in two pieces of quarter-sawn maple with a strong curl of medium width; the ribs, scroll and neck of similar wood. The front is of fine grain spruce and the varnish of a light red-brown colour.
