It comes with a certificate of authenticity, and on the inside of the back it is authenticated by the maker himself with the handwritten inscription ‘Victor Unsworth Morecambe 1996’; furthermore, it bears the maker’s original label. Its sound is purely soloistic, with extreme power across all registers and a very mature tone, rich in nuances, boasting remarkable projection in any theatre or concert hall. The high quality of the spruce and the two-piece maple back blend perfectly with the oil varnish in a reddish-brown hue against a gold-orange background. At the time of purchase (2018), the violin was valued at €8,500 on the certificate, but Unsworth died in 2023, so the instrument is now worth more.Mon, 27 Apr 2026 22:28:07 +0100https://debussy.musicalchairs.info/sales/20529https://debussy.musicalchairs.info/sales/20529The Music Matters International Music Competition is a comprehensive cultural and educational festival that bridges the gap between aspiring students and world-class artists.
