Thomas Perry Violin maker in Dublin, Ireland learned the craft from his father. Thomas made very fine violins, violas and one cello. He had an apprentice for many years, William Wilkinson. This violin is branded ” Perry Dublin” on the button and dated 1840. Perry died in 1818 and Wilkinson died in 1838. It is unknown if Perry created this violin alone or with Wilkinson – as they were known to also collaborate on fine instruments as well. The shop continued to sell off inventory after both deaths. This instrument has a grafted neck and a clear, sweet, strong tone. Minor restoration include peg bushings and an F hole crack. Currently in excellent condition with new Dominant strings with a Lenzner Goldbrokat E.
This violin has a superb voice that will please the professional violinist and will continue to appreciate in the years to come.

When you purchase from VegasViolin you can be sure of getting a violin that is ready to play and does not need additional and expensive extra setup work on the pegs, fingerboard and soundpost. Expect to pay far below what you would pay at a violin shop for the same kind of instrument. We began buying older quality violins to enable our daughters to play better quality violins and have the experience of playing many instruments. We would like to extend this benefit to you.
Note: It is uncommon for bridge or strings to become loose in shipping or for soundpost to fall, but in this unlikely event it is buyer's responsibility to have them reset.
