This violin is based on trying to recreate the original 18th Century Cremonese violins before they had their necks reset. This is an instrument that was made according to historic approaches and plays and feels as Cremonese violins did in the 1710s-1720s, to the best of our knowledge.

This violin has a baroque neck, with ebony veneered maple fingerboard, gut strings, handmade maple bridge with a baroque pattern. It is surprisingly vibrant and projects well, offering a wide dynamic range, lovely timbre and plenty of scope for a large baroque and early performance.
