Violin by Amédée Dieudonné Mirecourt 1937
This violin is well-balanced yet, bright. The lower register has a strong presence and core to its sound, offering a robust foundation for the violin. The upper register is clear, brillant, direct, ideal for soloist passages that need to carry over surrounding accompaniment. It was made with a beautiful one piece back with deep chatoyant and a reddish-gold finished. It was set-up by LA Violin Shop staff with Vision Solo strings and a Durod endpin for optimatmal performace.
Amédée Dieudonné (1890 – 1960) was a skilled and proflic violin-maker of the 20th century. earned violin making with Gustave Bazin, son of bow maker Charles Nicolas. He worked for the Darché firm in Brussels before settling in his hometown of Mirecourt around 1920. Over the next 40 years he was extremely productive, building violins for himself and for numerous firms, including Rudolph Wurlitzer, Moennig, Blanchard, Laberte, Mangenot, and Millant. Some of these bear Dieudonné's label, which he often signed, while others simply bear workshop labels. His work shows good craftsmanship and is largely on classical Cremonese models.
