An interesting English violin by Ernest Torr, labelled 'Ernest Torr, Liverpool 1924'. Lightly flamed two piece back, low to
medium arching, orange varnish. A very strong, bold design. Excellent physical condition but the varnish is soft and still takes marks, and has crackled.
Strong clear sound, resonant, bright verging on harsh, with little warmth on the lower strings. Plenty of volume if you work at it. Pirastro Obligato strings. A respectable violin by a British maker listed in all the dictionaries.
