About the violin
This violin was made in Colin's Bridge of Dee workshop in 2026 and is modelled after the instruments of Stradivari's Golden Period.
The violin has a two-piece back of quarter-sawn maple with ribs and scroll to match. The front is two pieces of straight-grained spruce and the varnish is a shaded golden-amber in colour.
The violin has a length of back of 357 mm.
How does it sound?
This is a real powerhouse of a violin! It's remarkably even, whilst having a great deal of warmth in the lower register and a sweet, silvery upper register - a combination that's hard to explain but fascinating to explore.
Condition
The violin is in original mint condition.
Certification
The violin comes with the maker's certificate of authenticity.
