Charles RESUCHE: Born in Mirecourt, at the start of his career he was first of all a student of Gand and Bernardel. Then it was with his colleague J. Diter that he founded a workshop in Lyon, passage de l'Arque, then very quickly they settled in rue de l'Hotel de Ville at 69. In 1897 he separated from his partner. to settle in Bordeaux in the F. Meynieu workshop which he will take over in his name two years later. His violin is inspired by the masters of Cremona with most often a beautiful red oil varnish as is the case for our violin. To mark his instruments he used different labels initially associated with Diter and later with Meynieu. Source: Universal Dictionary of Luthiers (René VANNES) and Lorraine and French lutherie (Albert JACQUOT).
For information, this violin was the instrument of a professional violinist who has now disappeared whose descendants I know and from whom I obtained it.
The whole is in excellent condition. Just to report a missing string and small chips in the varnish (without lack of wood), otherwise the instrument is ready to play.
