Viola by Nestor Dominique Audinot Paris 1908 - 15 3/4"

Nestor Audinot (1842–1920) was a French luthier trained in Mirecourt who later worked in Paris, bridging traditional craftsmanship with Parisian refinement. Influenced by Lupot and Vuillaume, his violins feature precise outlines, fine arching, elegant scrolls, and transparent golden-orange to reddish-brown varnish. Valued for their clarity, projection, and reliability, Audinot’s instruments exemplify the high standards of French violin making at the turn of the 20th century.
