This violin was made by Jehanne H. Blaise in Mirecourt a violin-making town in France. Blaise's good choice of tonewoods can be seen beautifully under the intensively orange-red colored varnish. Blaise mostly uses regularly grained spruce on top and flamed maple from Vosges mountains on its two-piece back. As a result, his violins express a warm and dark voice, with clarity, maturity, and good resonance.
