Labeled, "Antonius Stradiuarius Cremonensis Faciebat Anno 1717."
Rosewood nigra pegs.
LOB: 35.9 cm
Vuillaume worked principally from two great Cremonese models: Stradivari and Guarneri del Gesù. This violin follows the Stradivari model, prized by players for its immediate familiarity under the hand, balanced proportions, and broad versatility. With its strong, well-rounded playing qualities, it would make an excellent choice for a professional musician seeking an instrument capable both of blending naturally in ensemble playing and projecting with authority in a concert hall.
