Violin based on Pietro Guarneri, Venice
This violin has a good balance of soul and clarity, the sound has focus, with depth and intensity particularly on the G string, whilst the E has the clarity that carries whilst maintaining breadth of sound. A friend who is an excellent violinist and who has played most of my recent violins likes this one best, [except for the one his wife has!]
Model
This violin is based on one of the first classical Italian instruments I ever saw, made in Venice in 1742. The original instrument was beautiful, full of charisma, with deep red varnish. I have used this model numerous times, though I usually make the archings slightly lower and less severe than the original, to get a more powerful sound.
