I have loved the violin for
over 60 years but there comes a time when one has to let go, so I am putting my
beloved Lorenzo
Carcassi Violin up for auction hoping that it will be purchased
by someone who will love and care for it as much as I have.
I purchased my violin in
1965 from Rembert Wurlitzer, Inc. and I have the
original certificate of authenticity and photographs that will be given to the
successful bidder.
The description on their
Certificate of
Authenticity with owner's name deleted. reads as follows:
We certify that the violin sold by
us was made in our opinion by Lorenzo Carcassi and bears a label dated Florence
1776.The back is cut on the quarter from two pieces of maple with strong medium
narrow flames descending from the center joint at the upper and middle areas,
horizontal at the lower area. It is further marked by wavy vertical veins. The
top is cut from two pieces of spruce of mostly medium width grain. The sides and
scroll are of maple similar to that of the back.
The varnish has a golden
brown color. Photographs are attached.
I
studied for a few years with the renowned Broadus
Erle who played my Carcassi Violin and stated that "In
my opinion your Carcassi has a sweeter tone than my Guarnerius." (a
violin made by Giuseppe Guarneri,) Giuseppe Guarneri, born Aug. 21, 1698, died
Oct. 17th, 1744.
In 1986 skillful
restorations were made to my Carcassi Violin by the renowned Master Violin Maker
and Dealer Hans J. Nebel of Harrington Park, NJ. USA.
My violin has always been kept in a climate controlled atmosphere and treated
with great care.
T he fortunate, successful bidder will not only
enjoy playing, but will be proud to own this exquisite
instrument.
