Saxonian violin with a powerful voice, 19th century

This violin, which was built around the year 1900 in keeping with a Stradivari model, is a powerful instrument with very good acoustic qualities. With its balanced, bright, warm and open sound, it is an outstanding example of high-quality Saxonian handcraftsmanship. The spruce used for the top features an interesting moderate and unevenly patterned grain which harmonises beautifully with the deeply flamed maple back. This violin's highly appealing appearance comes from its thin layer of transparent light-brown orange varnish on a golden-yellow background, its accurate, light-brown purfling and its small, attractive scroll. An excellent musician must have been among its previous owners, since the traces of use on the top indicate that higher positions were frequently played. Undamaged and in excellent condition, this violin invites you to explore the broad musical options it offers
