Beautiful Cremona violin by Alceste Bulfari, from professional previous ownership
Alceste Bulfari completed his training at the famous violin-making school in Cremona, graduating in 1976. He then worked as a teacher at the school from 1976 to 1979. In 1979, he founded his own workshop in Castelleone near Cremona, which he set up in a former Franciscan monastery. He is known for his in-depth research into acoustics and varnishing in violin making. This full-blooded Cremona violin has a deep red, transparent and richly applied oil varnish, which brings out the noble appearance of the wood. The two-piece, deeply flamed maple back shows the careful selection of materials and meticulous workmanship. The scroll is finely crafted and delicate in appearance, evidence of Bulfari's precise craftsmanship. The instrument has a warm, full tone that is mature in character, yet bright, radiant, and rich in volume. It was originally owned by a professional musician who purchased it directly from Alceste Bulfari in Cremona. A Corilon certificate can be ordered as an option.
