Modern Italian violin by Mario and Gaetano Gadda made in 1954 as certified by Mario Gadda. The violin bears Mario and Gaetano Gaddas original label and brandstamps „GG “. This impressive violin model after Stefano Scarampella is more than the bare recourse to an important name; it is expression of a continuous tradition. The legendary Stefano Scarampella belongs to the direct artistic ancestors of Mario Gadda whose father and teacher Gaetano Gadda was Stefano Scarampellas only student and is considered as its legitimate follower. Thus the resemblance to Stefano Scarampellas works became also a constitutive element in the style of Mario Gadda. The special character of this wonderful violin is expressed by the large and very distinctive scroll cut in characteristic form. With its brilliant, warm melting sound, rich in overtones, this violin shows playing qualities worthy of its ancestors. The original maker's certificate is included.
