This violin was started OCtober 2021, a comission from a regular customer of the studio.<\/p>\n

The idea was to explore a little further the posibilities of the del Gesu design and deepen my understanding of his models of the late period.\u00a0 I had previosly lookied at the Dushkin and this time I was looking at the Viextemps.<\/p>\n

As usual, my aim is not to do an exact coopy but rather model an interesting instrument and let my own personal style reflect in the results.<\/p>\n

The outcome is an very comfortable violin, ease of playing across all registers. Length of body is 352mm with a body\/neck stop of 193-130mm.<\/p>\n

Of very balanced and robust sound, generous projection in large halls and expresive character.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The P.G. forma of Antonio Stradivari. A violin built around my reconstruction of the original mould in the Museo del Violino.<\/a><\/p>\n

A timeless classic design, the P.G. mould is the paradigm of violin shape, with very smooth flowing curves and an ideal proportion of bouts.<\/p>\n

Body length of 356mm and standard body\/neck stop of 195 to 130mm.<\/p>\n

Built with well seasoned balkan maple and italian spruce. Pristine finish with my home cooked oil varnish.<\/p>\n
