corilon violins

Strong and powerful German violin after Amati

With its highly transparent light brown varnish over golden ground, this large violin appears very dignified and sophisticated. The arching on the narrowly and deeply flamed back is made close to the Italian original. A label inside the response box indicates the violin as a German Amati model. Even though the instrument was built over one hundred years ago, there are only very few traces of use and signs of the inevitable aging process visible. The regularly grown spruce of the top and the neat workmanship indicate the refined taste and profound skills of the violins unknown maker. This fine quality Saxonian violin features excellent sound qualities; it responds immediately and produces huge, clear, dark and powerful sounds. An extraordinay instrument with high potential, especially suitable for advanced and superior players.
