Beautifully varnished copy of a G.P. Maggini violin. This violin is a shop model that was started overseas with well aged European spruce and maple tonewoods, and then hand finished in the USA. It has undergone a re-graduation process to more carefully tune the top and back plates as well as bass bar, to refine the sound of the violin. After assembly the instrument was hand varnished with a high quality oil varnish in the Brescian style. This violin features a more traditional Brescian Brown varnish with gentle red highlights. The violin has undergone a full setup with beautiful Rosewood fittings, including swiss pegs and a harp style tailpiece, and is currently setup with Pirastro Obligato strings for a bold and responsive sound. Tonally this violin is very powerful across every register with a deep low end that continues to ring long after the bow has been lifted. This is a fantastic chance to own a violin that is hand finished in the USA at the quality of an individual luthier built instrument at a much lower price.
