Aw thank you!! It's a Mansuy a Paris factory-made fiddle from the 1800s!

@@LizFaiellaMusic I was wondering the same, I love the chocolate colour 🙂

Thank you Michael! At this point, I was using Dominant G, D, and A strings with a Pirastro E. I've recently switched to Peter Infeld strings.

Have you heard of Jacques Bocquay or Jacques Boquay? Paris. France, 1723-1736. 4th. most well-known French Maker. He lived in Paris on the "street of artesins" from 1723-1736 when he died. When he died, his workers continued to build violins until supply stock was gone. This maybe the reason Bocquay ,(before he died), to Boquay,(after his death)?

@@LizFaiellaMusic Liz, awesome instructions,beautiful presentation, enjoy each lesson. I'm almost 80 years old & violins have been my passion since before you were born. 20 years ago, I hand-crafted a violin and play it almost daily. Your beautiful old violin & the sounds you Cox are neat! Please research the maker of this instrument. The dark finish is acid age color. The style is French. The age is 1700's. The maker ,I believe, is Jacques Bocquay, Boquay at Paris. The wide eyes of the scroll, groove next to purfling show his skill. He was prolific in how many instruments he made. In 1975, I purchased a violin that had been in the same family for 5 generations. This violin is a twin of your instrument! The only difference is, mine still has the short neck. After BOCQUAY died in 1736 his shop continued building violins until the materials were gone. Your violin screams, "I am a Bocquay, not a cheap factory fiddle"! What may look like flaws really are not. Bocquay's shop was on.( translated) street of silver,( of skilled craftsmen). Hope this is interesting to & keep up your good work!
