Full Description

The wood chosen for this violin follows the figure of the original instrument. The top's spruce was carefully selected and came from Val di Fiemme, the same source 'del Gesù' used to get his wood. The two-piece back maple with medium flames is joint in a v -shape and comes from the Balkans. This cremona violin masterpiece is ready to be played and to follow you in your successful journey as a musician.

"Named by its ex-owner, the illustrious Nicolo Paganini, this violin is known because of its power and resonant sound. This instrument is covered by a luminous reddish-brown varnish. Scratches and signs of wear accentuate the original's evidence of time and playing. Some very distinct characteristics of this masterpiece are somewhat the high sides, the imponent scroll, and a considerably curved neck. ''Il Cannone'' ranks as the greatest masterpiece of this inspired maker." Luiz Amorim
