G. B. Guadagnini's remarkable career took him on many journeys. Each and every instrument from his workshop bears the mark of the city in which it was born; a testament to his craftsmanship. Drawing inspiration from Guadagnini’s Piacenza period, we endeavored to adapt his strong character to suit our own taste and preferences. The resulting violin exhibits a broad and powerful sound, capturing a glimpse of the allure found in the works of this great master.Share:
Additional Information
We exclusively use a selection of high-quality tonewoods when crafting our instruments. The maple wood is most commonly of Balkan origin, but we also use locally sourced Italian maple,
known as Oppio, which has a higher density and a distinctive greyish hue that lends itself well to
antique-style varnishes.
Our spruce wood for the soundboard comes from Val di Fiemme, where a unique microclimate
fosters a regular growth pattern, making it renowned worldwide for its use in instrument making.
This violin model has a deep and rich sound. It is well balanced between the strings and can support a wide range of bow techniques.
Length of body: 356
