Giovanni Lazzaro, Padova 1990: Italian violin

This modern Italian violin by Giovanni Lazzaro is an especially interesting affordable instrument within our selection of contemporary Italian violins. It was made in Padova in 1990 and is beautiful instrument of quality that combines all the advantages of traditional and modern violin making. The purfling was crafted carefully and precisely in the Cremonese tradition, just as the shining golden-yellow oil varnish that was richly applied and shows some craquellure. The one-piece back was made from mildly flamed sycamore maple, that clearly demonstrates the high quality of the tonewoods Giovanni Lazzaro chose for this violin. The violin is originally labeled and dated and was meticulously worked over and set up by the violin makers at Corilon violins. Without any repair or danage, the violin is in perfect, immediate playing condition, ready to unfold its mature, warm sound that is bright and radiant in the upper ranges and of a unique character.
