About Derick Sanderson
Derick Sanderson was a luthier based in Alva, Clackmannanshire. He was active for around 20 years from the mid-1960s and passed away in 1988.
We have seen a number of Sanderson instruments in the shop, all of which were very well made.
About the violin
This violin was made in Alva in 1975 and is a personal interpretation of the Stradivari model.
The violin has a two piece back of quarter-sawn maple with ribs and scroll to match. The front is two pieces of straight grained spruce and the varnish is golden amber in colour.
The violin has a length of back of 356mm.
How does it sound?
The violin has a pure, clean character with lots of brightness. It would make a superb upgrade from a student outfit.
Condition
The violin is in excellent condition.
