Joseph Hel, Lille 1882

Joseph Hel (1842 – 1902)

This stunning violin made in Joseph Hel’s golden period is perhaps the finest example of his work in existence.

The wood choice, artistic working & varnish all combine to produce a violin that has investment quality coupled with a depth of tonal colour.

Joseph Hel spent some time in Paris working with Sebastian Vuillaume and surely during his time was influenced by Jean Baptiste Vuillaume. This violin possess everything a J.B Vuillaume has at a fraction of the price!
