Instruments by the Parisot studio in Mirecourt have through the years earned a fine reputation for superb workmanship, and above all, for excellent tone. Largely Parisot violins are on a par with the best output of Jérôme Thibouville-Lamy (JTL).

This violin is well-toned and responsive, easy to play and would facilitate rapid progress in a talented student.

The two-piece back, ribs, neck and scroll are of nicely flamed maple with a medium to narrow curl. The top is of excellent tone spruce. The somewhat narrow corners are a characteristic of this studio's work, and the scroll and Fs are well-balanced and elegant. Workmanship throughout shows a steady hand and conforms to the standards of good French violin making.
