A powerful-sounding violin from the Neapolitan violin-making tradition, likely built between 1880 and 1900. The instrument follows in the tradition of Gennaro Gagliano and has on several occasions been attributed to Giovanni Pistucci; its provenance remains unclear, and we are therefore offering it as a fine example of the Neapolitan school. The lustrous golden-brown varnish is in good condition and gives the violin an elegant appearance. The two-piece back made of flamed maple with ascending grain is a particularly lively and decorative choice. The scroll has been re-shanked; a few minor restorations to the top have been professionally executed, including a soundpost. The sound is big, warm, and resonant in the lower registers, radiant and clear in the higher registers—a fine violin that meets concert standards and is equally suited for professional players as well as discerning and investment-oriented collectors.
