An amazing old french 4/4 violin, labeled fait par G. Apparut an 1939 N 471.
Good quality straight high grained spruce was chosen for the top, and the maple of the two pieces back of strongly flamed maple with matched sides, neck and scroll. The double inlaid purfling after Maggini is a tasteful work of good craftsmanship, just as the shining, golden amber varnish. The whole length of the violin is 588 mm and the back 359 mm. The width of the upper bouts: 168 mm; middle bouts: 115 mm; lower bouts: 209 mm.
