Full description
Michele Buccellè’s 2024 violin, modeled after Stradivari’s 1704 "Betts," is an exquisite expression of Cremonese violin-making tradition. This model is known for its exceptional tonal balance, projection, and responsiveness, making it a sought-after choice for demanding musicians. Buccellè’s approach pays homage to the original while adding his own touch of refinement and meticulous attention to detail.
The top is crafted from high-quality Italian spruce with a fine, straight grain that ensures optimal resonance. The back, a two-piece selection of beautifully flamed Balkan maple, enhances both the instrument’s aesthetics and its acoustic depth. The violin’s tonal characteristics reflect the power and clarity of the "Betts" model, offering a rich, complex sound with outstanding projection and articulation.
The varnish, a warm amber color with subtle antiquing, complements the elegant craftsmanship, giving the violin an inviting and sophisticated presence. The purfling, arching, and edgework demonstrate Buccellè’s expert hand, creating an instrument that is as visually stunning as it is sonically impressive.
This violin is a remarkable example of modern Cremonese violin-making, embodying the best qualities of Stradivari’s Golden Period while carrying the signature precision and artistry of Michele Buccellè.
