The talented violin maker William Szott from England was on a work placement in my workshop seven years ago. After he returned to his own workshop in England, we have continued to collaborate. This has resulted in him building six violins based on my own personal “von der Lippe” model, and all are played daily by very satisfied Norwegian musicians and music students.

The first violin he built here in my workshop is once again ready for a new owner. It is interesting to see how William’s personality shines through in this violin, which has been varnished by me with my own oil varnish. The violin has been played a lot over the years, and is ready for a concert tonight if you wish. This is the instrument for those who want the taste of a von der Lippe violin, but at a very pleasant price.

During these years, the instrument has been regularly maintained by the undersigned. The violin is insured and can be tried at home for up to two weeks. A YouTube video of this violin can be seen at the bottom of this page. Sold with original certificate.
