The name of Nicholas Lupot rings true in the ears of any violin enthusiast as he is 
considered the Stradivari of France. This violin, which is a premier example of his late 
Orleans period, is featured in the book, Nicholas Lupot: His contemporaries and 
successors, Aladfi, 2017. This violin is built on a broad Stradivari model and has the 
same richness and precise characteristics that define the finest Cremonese violins of 
previous generations. Lupot’s violins, specifically those of the Orleans period, are a perfect mix of value and utility. You get the finest old-world sound in a package that 
costs less than his Paris period, and is arguably just as beautiful. We look forward to placing this one in the hands a fine, discerning player. Accompanied by a JJ Rampal certificate.
