Modern Italian violin from Cremona, Marco Cargnelutti

Modern Italian violin by Marco Cargnelutti – Cremona 2014

Marco Cargnelutti is an interesting violin maker of the modern Cremonese tradition which developed in the wake of the revival of the Cremona violin-making school. With the Italian violin offered here, a work from 2014 bearing his original label, Cargnelutti presents an aesthetically and tonally perfect example of his art. From an obviously well-assorted stock of first-class tonewoods, he has chosen fine to medium-aged spruce for the top and maple with extremely beautiful flaming for the two-piece back, the ribs, and the scroll, and has processed them with a sure sense for the vibrational properties of the material. The fine purfling and the light oil varnish with subtle orange tones are masterful examples of mature craftsmanship. Delicate craquelure rounds off the attractive appearance of this Cremonese violin with an individual touch, which also includes some traces of previous owners who have clearly played this exquisite instrument a great deal. Matured into a musical personality that appeals to discerning musicians with an appreciation for the special character of Italian string instruments, this Italian violin from Cremona is in excellent condition. It has been inspected and prepared for playing by the specialists in our violin workshop and invites you to explore its radiant sound, rich in overtones and melting clarity. The price includes the original certificate. Delivered free of charge, with a 30-day return policy and Corilon's trade-in guarantee.
