JTL Fractional Size: The Perfect Choice of Violin for a Violin Student

What is the secret of the amazing quality of JTL violins?

THERE REALLY IS SOMETHING SPECIAL ABOUT JTL VIOLINS

J.T.L. (Jérôme Thibouville-Lamy) violins from Mirecourt, France, are world famous for their high quality. J.T.L. was a site where violin making that had been knowledge acquired over generations was strategically utilized. The knowledge that outstanding violin makers brought to the company is one key reason for the reputation for the high quality of its violins. Their violins were made to exacting standards leading to a uniform degree of high-quality craftsmanship. They produced a huge range of models suitable for both students and professionals.

I think no small part of the amazing high quality sound of even the most basic JTL violins, once correctly set up, is due to the high quality slow grown, close and straight grain, of the spruce wood from the surrounding alpine Vosges mountains that was historically available in abundance, and so used in Mirecourt violin making. However, such perfect violin timber is scarce today, making these antique and highly sought after violins impossible to emulate at the price.

I have many JTL violins for sale, via The Secret Violin Shop, in various sizes, some are for sale on my eBay account here
