Buthod á Paris and another nickel mounted violin bow, unstamped**This violin is being sold by the daughter of her late father and she has written a moving tribute below about him and the violin. Christopher Sheppard (1941-2018) Lead Violinist (RadioLight Orchestra) multi-instrumentalist, conductor, music lecturer and artist. Christopher was extraordinarily talented both as a musician and an artist. His early life was, like all those born during the war, challenging and difficult. Forced to join the Royal Marines School of Music at 14, Chris rose to lead violin under Sir Vivian Dunn in three years which began his lifelong career as a performing artist. After 25 years in the services, a lifetime's experience as a worldwide musician, conductor including the position of band master of the Ark Royal in 1977 (featuring in the TV series Sailor) He retired to Devon where he took the lead in The Radio Light Orchestra and as a session musician playing all the shows in the Theatre Royal (Plymouth), teaching and composing music. The love of his life was his beautiful violin (one might have said it was his obsession) which he played daily, permeating the walls of his house with his favourite tunes from the Max Bruch Concerto in G minor to Shostakovich's most moody concertos. His friends nick named him Shosta which said it all. As his daughter, my love for the violin was sadly lacking having had to endure endless practice as a child every morning from 5am. However, now he has departed, I miss his beautiful playing and the enchanting sound he created with his Lupot violin. My hope is that his violin will find a worthy owner who loves it as much as my Father did.
