Violin Labeled E.J. Albert, 1859 – Philadelphia | 1/4 Size
This rare 1/4-size violin bears a label reading E.J. Albert, Philadelphia, 1859, referencing Edward J. Albert, an early American violin maker and dealer active in the mid-19th century. While it is uncommon to find fractional instruments from this period, this violin likely reflects either a custom commission or a later workshop interpretation using the E.J. Albert name—common practice in 19th-century violin commerce.
The instrument features a warm reddish-brown varnish, a lightly flamed maple back, and a fine spruce top. Despite its size, it produces a sweet, clear tone, making it a fascinating and playable piece of violin-making history. Ideal for collectors or for a young musician seeking something truly unique.
An unusual and charming 19th-century fractional violin with roots in early American lutherie.
