Description

This fine french violin, a flawless manifestation of the mature personal style of Georges Coné. Serves as a milestone in the biography of this extremely productive luthier, as it was created in a phase in which Georges Coné worked under ideal conditions. Nine years prior to this time, he had returned to Lyon to take over the workshop of Emile Boulangeot – a return home to Boulangeot’s house, which was both where their joint teacher, Paul Blanchard, had set up his workshop, and also the place where Georges Coné himself spent the first 16 years of his working life. As the luthier of the conservatory and Lyon’s philharmonic orchestra, Georges Coné had steady business, but he also enjoyed the ongoing and intense contact to outstanding musicians. The flamed maple he selected for the two-piece back is an exceptionally fine-quality tone wood that offers both superior acoustic properties and an entrancing aesthetic. Its spectacular grain gives a magnificent historic character to the luminous deep wine-red varnish. This fine violin well-preserved condition and was carefully set up by the experts at our workshop so that it is now at its finest and ready to play. Its sound dark with very strong resonant, suit for the orchestra player.
