Historical significance and origin 

This instrument comes from the "golden era" of West Bohemian violin making. Franz Anton Hausmann (1870–1931) was a master violin maker whose workshop was known for producing instruments that combined high-quality mass production with individual masterpieces. 

Around 1920, the Hausmann workshop reached its peak in craftsmanship. After the collapse of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, these workshops maintained a high level of European tradition and used local high-altitude resonance wood from the Bohemian forests.

Physical Properties and Material Quality 

Instruments from this period are prized for their aesthetic beauty and construction quality: 

Top (soundboard): Usually made of finely textured, well-aged spruce. The annual rings are very regular, which is a sign of a quality soundboard. 

Back and sides: Usually made of two pieces of heavily "flamed" (curly) maple. The "tiger stripe" pattern tends to be prominent and slanted, indicating the selection of premium wood. 

Lacquer: Hausmann used a quality spirit or oil-spirit lacquer. It is typically a rich golden brown to reddish-amber color. Models from the 1920s often show a natural patina or subtle shading that highlights the wood structure. 

Model: Most Hausmann violins in this class are based on the refined Stradivari model, with elegant arching and precisely cut Eff holes.
