Violino Breton, Brevete de Sarm 2/4 (1836) – Mirecourt (F)

Owned by Mrs. Marilisa Di Cianni, officially donated on May 31, 2023 to the Istituto Comprensivo di Marostica - Musical Address

According to the luthier Fabio Dalla Costa di Breganze, who was entrusted with the restoration work, the time of manufacture of the violin can go back to about the middle of the nineteenth century, although the year 1836 is indicated in the cartridge inside the harmonic box; the cartridge, containing the original label Breton Brevete de s.a.r.m., Is confirmation, however, that the instrument comes from the well-known town of violin making of Mirecourt (France).

The instrument is smaller than normal, since it is a 2/4, and is particularly suitable for the study and use of boys.

The lutemaker Dalla Costa has completely refurbished it: the transparent paint, very beautiful, is light golden brown in colour; it has a light patina and some signs of age, which embellish it.

The teacher of the violin class of the Middle School of Marostica, Prof. Carla Camponogara, during the instrument delivery ceremony (of which you will find a photo gallery below), on May 31, made the audience feel her voice: a loud, brilliant, but also sweet sound in the upper ranges; clear and good resonant tones.
