2012 Baroque Violin after Nicolo Amati 1666
A new Baroque style violin based on a grand pattern
after Nicolo Amati from 1666. A great model - the sound strong and yet
sweet with a fine resonance. A recent comment by a professional player (Mr. Rafael Font):
'There is no doubt it is an amazing instrument. It feels great under
both hands, is extremely easy to make (it) speak and to finger, and all
the notes are where they should be (in every other baroque setup
instrument I have played it is impossible to finger all the fifths
without having to make adjustments in the position and angle of the
hand).
The tone is loud, very bright and cutting but sweet at the same time, which makes it stand out in an ensemble without having to work hard or overpowering the other instruments. I can comfortably say that it is by far the best modern made violin I have played.' Mr. Rafael Font has now purchased this violin. |
