PRESENTATION OF A NÉVÉOL VIOLIN
In 2023, Mathieu Névéol realized his dream as a violin maker: to be able to create the sound of a violin before having made it. The Névéol violin was born.
Created in 2011 by Mathieu Névéol, this original instrument has a bright sound in the high register and a particularly warm sound in the low register. The originality of the model, enhanced by a golden yellow dichroic varnish, makes the Névéol violin an exceptional instrument. Play one and you will be heard and recognized from the first notes.
SOUND MASTERY
During his research, Mathieu Névéol developed a technique for harmonizing instruments before varnishing. This technique, probably used in Italy as early as the 16th century, allows the final sound of a violin to be adjusted, to "adjust" any problems with rolling on certain notes and therefore to harmonize the sound balance of a violin, from low to high. Thanks to this unique technique, we guarantee the absence of rolling on each violin, particularly on the G string, and mastery of the timbre of each instrument.
DICHROIC VARNISH NEVEOL & SON
After fifteen years of frantic research in collaboration with Régis Névéol, the discovery of the dichroic varnish Névéol & Fils , a varnish visible on almost all the instruments in the Cremona museum in Italy, allowed the Névéol violin to be sublimated.
A double advantage, aesthetic and sound:
This warm, highly dichroic varnish, characterized by a golden cinnamon color with orange-red highlights, changes color depending on the light source and the viewing angle from which the instrument is observed.
Finally, this varnish applied to a so-called "white" instrument significantly modifies the mechanical properties of the wood and gives an undeniable sound signature to Névéol violins.
ORDERS
Concretely, an order can be an excellent solution to find the instrument that fully meets your expectations, both in terms of sound and from a purely aesthetic point of view. Our way of proceeding is very simple and without risk. First of all, a telephone conversation with Mathieu Névéol will allow him to know in detail what you are looking for. Subsequently, a deposit of 1500 euros allows you to confirm an order and plan a date for a future delivery. Final payment is requested only when the violin is finished. If for any reason you are not satisfied with the instrument, bring it back within 60 days for a full refund.
WARRANTIES & MAINTENANCE
Mathieu Névéol offre une première vérification et un premier réglage du violon, puis par la suite un engagement à long terme pour garder la sonorité de votre instrument dans les meilleures conditions possible. Mathieu Névéol est heureux de pouvoir aider pour les réglages du son, l'entretien et les réparations. Pour cela, chaque violon est accompagné d'une boite et d'un emballage spécifique destiné aux éventuels transports, ce qui rend les envois sécurisés pour que nous puissions récupérer le violon. Il est important de savoir qu'il n'est pas toujours possible d'effectuer des réglages en urgence, il est donc nécessaire de nous contacter en avance pour fixer un rendez-vous à l'atelier.
