Trade instruments made at Château-Thierry (France), exclusively for Beare & Son of London, 1880-1920.
Modelling taken from best example of Cremonese art, with perhaps a preference for the Guarnerius model. Carefully selected Swiss pine and handsome sycamore. Various grades. Cheaper ones
invariably varnished yellow; better class with richer reddish-brown. Thousands floating about - generally good of their class - but the upper bouts of the cheaper kind are not always nicely
outlined.
Also violas, ’cellos, and double-basses. $20,000
