Description:
Here is a hand made Carl Buell violin made in 1935, No. 82 from Snohomish Washington. This is a beautiful instrument that has been well maintained in an older, large, hard shell case with key. One latch needs to be reattached. From an estate sale. I am not a violin expert. Tailpiece, bridge, and bow are all marked Germany. Bow also has 441 and 9 as shown. I cannot find a bow maker name. Please see photos. No cracks or damage to the violin or bow. Violin will need to be restrung and tailpiece reattached. Bow will need new hair. Overall, a beautiful 1935 violin. This has been relisted. The previous winning bidder was unable to pay. Response stoppedCarl W. Buell, a remarkable craftsman, dedicated much of his life to creating exquisite string instruments. Born in Idaho’s Palouse country, he left school at 14 to support his parents by working in a lumber mill. Later, he settled in Everett, Washington, where he became known for his exceptional craftsmanship.Here are some fascinating details about Carl Buell and his passion for violin-making:Instrument Crafting: Around 1940, Carl Buell established his own store called Buell Music, where he meticulously crafted European-style string instruments. His creations included violins, cellos, basses, and violas made from wood. Buell even invented his own varnish for these instruments.Repair and Service: Beyond crafting, Buell repaired instruments for local high schools, colleges, and symphony orchestras. His shop was a hub for musicians seeking repairs and maintenance.Semi-Retirement: In 1967, he entered semi-retirement, closing his shop but continuing to work from his basement at home. Even as he aged, his dedication to his craft remained unwavering.Pride in Craftsmanship: Buell took immense pride in each instrument he made. His commitment to perfection led him to stop crafting violins around the age of 85, believing he could no longer create a flawless one.
