      Full description

      This violin, crafted by Giovanni Cavani in Spilamberto (Modena) in 1922, showcases his exceptional interpretation of the Guarneri del Gesù style. The top is fashioned from rare, antique recovered spruce—an iconic feature of Cavani’s craftsmanship—infusing the instrument with a warm and resonant tonal core. The sides and back are made from locally sourced Italian maple, adding elegance with their subtle natural flames. The head is crafted from finely selected pearwood. The instrument is skillfully coated with a magnificent golden-orange varnish that exudes sophistication and vintage charm. This violin stands out not only for its visual fascination but also for its bold, expressive sound, embodying Cavani’s mastery and reverence for the Guarneri tradition.

      Giovanni Cavani

      One of the most important names of the modern Emilian school of violin making, it is believed that he started as a self-learner, and at some point in his early career he collaborated with Leandro Bisiach`s company in which he gained experience, but still remained strongly linked to the Emilian style of violin making.
