Collin-Mezin (both father and son), are universally well-regarded as a very fine tools of the trade, consistently expertly made and delivering a tone characterised by power, clarity, and brilliance. We know that his instruments were used and praised by the likes of violinists Joseph Joachim and Camilo Sivori, as well as by cellist Auguste Franchomme, and yet remarkably they still remain affordable in a way which a huge number of instruments by Italian makers are not.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis violin, made in either Paris or Mirecourt, bears many striking similarities to the instruments produced by the Collin-Mezins, and most likely was produced in one of their workshops around the turn of the century. An excellent instrument, and until recently used as a second instrument by a concert concertmaster, it would be an ideal violin for a player commencing their final studies or first professional engagements.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51577955221842,"sku":null,"price":3660.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/8602\/4786\/files\/20250923_153746.jpg?v=1758643298"},{"product_id":"a-fine-irish-violin-by-thomas-perry-dublin-circa-1780","title":"A Fine Irish Violin by Thomas Perry, Dublin, circa 1780","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAn excellent example of the work of Ireland's most important and revered historical maker, Thomas Perry.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eDescended most likely from French Maker Claude Pierray, Thomas Perry operated a hugely successful workshop on Anglesea Street in Dublin's Temple Bar, initially independently, then from 1781 alongside his son-in-law William Wilkinson, thenceforth trading under the banner of Perry \u0026amp; Wilkinson. \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eHis instruments, which are very popular with players and are displayed in many collections worldwide, tend to be modelled on the work of Amati (he is thought to have been able to study the dimensions of the Amati belonging to the Duke of Leinster and based his instruments primarily on this pattern), though some are redolent of the work of Richard Duke of London.
