With an even and rich sound, and four strings that resonate harmoniously, the BL-800 series is known for its modern Italian violin characteristics. Its sound carries well and is not harsh on the ears, making it suitable for performing both classical and 20th century pieces. Due to the special requirement of extremely dry wood sourcing, only up to five BL-800 violins can be produced each year. The BL-800 series violins are copies of Guarneri 1743 “II Cannone”, Guarneri 1742 “Lord Wilton” and Stradivarius 1716 “Messiah”.
