About the violin
This violin was finished in 2019 and is a collaboration between Linus and Marios. It is modelled after the instruments of Stradivari. I particularly like the marks in the wood which run down the front of the violin: these are reminiscent of the `Archinto´ viola by Stradivari.
The violin has a two piece back of book-matched maple of medium flame which descends gently from the centre joint. The front is two pieces of straight-grained spruce which broadens slightly towards the flanks. The varnish is golden-amber in colour and the length of back of 355 mm.
How does it sound?
The violin has a lovely, mellow tone which doesn´t lack power. It has a singing quality about it that makes playing gorgeous melodies very satisfying. The violin is even across the strings and would make a great partner for someone exploring solo repertoire.
Condition
The violin is in original mint condition.
