Additional Information
Wood
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.
Sound
The sound of this violin is rich and resonant, with a deep warmth and a subtle dryness that adds character. The lower register is full and inviting, while the upper range maintains clarity and brightness, offering a smooth, powerful projection across all registers.Varnish
The varnish we use is an oil-based varnish made with natural resins and pigments. Although the base formula has remained the same for several years, the results vary slightly each time, adding to the uniqueness of each instrument.Dimensions
About Guarneri del Gesù
Giuseppe Guarneri is today considered one of the most talented makers of the 1700. Born in 1698 he was the third generation of the violin making family founded by his grandfather Andrea Guarneri in 1641. He did not manage to obtain much fame during his lifetime but when famed violinist Niccolò Paganini made the ‘Cannone’ his companion. The combination of the potent sound of the violin and the incredible skills of Paganini elevated the status of Giuseppe Guarneri and posthumously gathered the recognition he deserved. His instruments are characterized by the spontaneous design and a talent for experimentation.Personalize
If you decide to commission this model there are many ways in which we can personalize a violin just for you. Firstly if you decide to follow the construction from start to finish you can get to pick the set of wood from our selection you like and if you have particular desires in regards to materials we will do our utmost to accomodate your wishes.
If you have special ergonomic needs when it comes to neck shape, string length, set-up ecc. those are also things we can figure out together.
