WORKED OVER AND TONALLY IMPROVED: Ernst Heinrich Roth, Markneukirchen, fine 1922 violin - Guarnerius model
This wonderful Guarnerius replica from the Markneukirchen atelier of Ernst Heinrich Roth is warmly recommended for soloists and concertmasters. Its clear, dominant, resonant sound combines brilliance and maturity — outstanding tonal qualities that complement the delicate aesthetic of this sought-after early 20th century Ernst Heinrich Roth instrument, which was crafted beforer the relocation from Markneukirchen to Bubenreuth which took place in 1955 with the finest artisanry. Premium maple with deep flames was chosen for the two-piece back and ribs. The antiqued varnish puts the finishing touch on the interesting grain of the spruce top and gives it a beautiful appearance. The origin of this fine Roth violin is confirmed by its original label. At our violin making studio, the crackfree violin was meticulously set up and worked over and is now - like all instruments from us - ready to play. It has no cracks and a professionally executed repair to the top seam under the fingerboard may be called the only flaw, which is considered in the price. Its ideally balanced, powerful voice and precise playing characteristics will open up broad horizons of nuanced musical interpretations.
