About The Violin
About The Violin
Georges Apparut instruments are inspired by Victor Joseph Charotte, especially in the FF design of certain models, and by the classical Italian school, some of the finest samples of which Apparut was exposed to while working with Marc Laberte.
Aside from his Atelier production, always in good taste and well crafted where workmanship, choice of wood, and sound qualities are concerned, one also finds instruments of superior quality generally made in copy, some of them on a personal model. Joseph Guarneri, Jean Baptiste Guadagnini, and Georges Klotz are a few of the makers who directly inspired the work of Georges Apparut.
Georges Apparut gained an especially great reputation for the instruments he crafted to evoke antiqued or aged looks, and won several honours and awards during his career, including silver and gold medals at the international exhibitions in : 1909 Nancy, 1910 Brussels, 1913 Gand.
In 1928 he was bestowed the French diploma of “Meilleur ouvrier de France”, best French Craftman.
The violin is exceptionally well crafted, with an eye for the finer details of classical Italian making, especially the inlay and edgework which are expertly made.
Tonally it is very refined, with a full bodied lower end and a sweet, golden upper register. With Pirastro Evah Pirazzi Gold G, D & A strings and a Warchal Amber Forte E, it excels across the board.
Comes with a certificate by Ruschil London.
