Description
Francois Caussin violin, labeled “Nicolo Gagliano,” with Bernard Millant certificate
François Caussin worked at Rouvres-la-Chétive near Neufchâteau (France) from 1820-1865.
Modeling of rather small proportions – splendid intentions of Italian traits – varied design. Many specimens sold as genuine Italian but though the copying is remarkably good, careful examination dispels that imagination. Generally full arching – sound-holes and scroll completely artistic – nice purfling. Wood chosen to replicate the models imitated. Varnish is golden-brown of good quality. Tonal quality is attractively clear and sweet.
