The violin above was recently donated to the University of Ottawa, Music Facutly. It is labeled Elophen Poirson, Lyon and dated 1910. Along with the violin, 4 bows made by the late Ottawa luthier, Joseph Kun were given as well.

The violin hadn’t been used for many years and was bought into our shop to be checked over and appraised. We cleaned it, did some minor varnish retouching and now it’s ready to be loaned to a fortunate student at the University. My assistants also rehaired and cleaned the bows.

For violin restoration and appraisals please call 613 569 4803.    (792 Gladstone Ave. Ottawa)
