Fine Czechs violin by Johann Uldericus Eberle Prague ca 1750

Crafted in the heart of mid-18th-century Prague, this exceptional violin by Johann Uldericus Eberle (1699–1768) stands as a testament to the golden age of Bohemian lutherie. Renowned for blending Tyrolean craftsmanship with Italian and Stainer-inspired model principles, Eberle’s instruments were prized by nobility and virtuosos alike, as evidenced by their presence in historic collections such as the Lobkowitz family’s holdings. This violin, dated to c. 1750, embodies Eberle’s mastery with its rich, warm, and singing tone, characterized by a velvety depth in the lower register and luminous clarity in the highs—a balance that makes it equally suited for solo performances and ensemble play.

The instrument’s effortless playability is enhanced by its good set-up, featuring a slender neck and dimensions (35.6 cm back length), ensuring comfort for musicians of all levels. Its aged spruce and maple woods, carefully selected by Eberle, contribute to a mature, resonant sound that has been refined through centuries of professional use. The luminous golden-brown varnish, a hallmark of Eberle’s Prague workshop, retains its original luster, with subtle aging that adds to its authentic charm without compromising structural integrity.

Certified by renowned expert H. Köstler of Stuttgart. Eberle’s work, influenced by masters like Jacob Stainer and Antonio Stradivari, reflects a unique synthesis of tradition and innovation, making this instrument a rare find for collectors and performers seeking both beauty and acoustic excellence.
