Featuring an antique appearance, the moderate grain of the spruce top explains the outstanding resonant properties. The delicate brownish oil varnish plays up the fine quality of the tone woods, which is evident in the highly flamed one-piece maple back. This violin has a very round and radiant sound , featuring a mature warm and mellow tone which will delight artistically demanding musicians.
