🇨🇦 Joseph Kun Estate Series — Premium Offering — Partially Constructed 4/4 Violin Body (Rib Garland with Carved Back) — European Maple (Acer pseudoplatanus) — Tomov Provenance 🇨🇦

We are honored to present a higher-tier workshop artifact originating from the estate of Joseph Kun (Ottawa, Canada 🇨🇦), acquired through Toronto luthier Filip Tomov following the dispersal of remaining estate materials.

This piece represents a substantially advanced stage of violin construction, consisting of a completed rib structure with installed blocks and linings joined to a carved and purfled two-piece European maple back plate (Acer pseudoplatanus).

For makers, this eliminates many of the most time-intensive early construction processes.
For collectors, it offers a tangible connection to a respected Canadian workshop lineage.

No certificate accompanies this item.

Why This Premium Piece Stands Out

✔ Rib bending and assembly already completed

This combination is rarely encountered outside active maker studios.

Availability 🇨🇦

Material from the Joseph Kun workshop estate is finite. Once sold, comparable estate workshop components may not become available again.

This is a one-opportunity acquisition.
