Sara Pastine Violinist, Italy
The instrument (Luiz Amorim copy of Montagnana) not only brings a lot of warmth, but also bass support and clarity to the sound. It gives some kind of personal singing voice to the music and is something special to work with. I feel that it is the perfect mix of the shape and appearance of the original cello, which is made very much like the original with the beautiful red/brown varnish. If you look at the back, you can see the three-dimensional qualities in the structure of the wood and the varnish, and I think that’s really appealing.
Daniel Müller-Schott, Cellist, Germany
It's always a pleasure to meet the Amorim family! Wonderful instruments and bows - old & new - in the best shape, unending knowhow how to make the sound of a fine instrument even better (Gaian fixed my violin in five minutes after one look. She got into another world of sound instantly❤️), always a beautiful display with a big variety, many open ears, a great memory and feeling for the personal likings of us customers and a very kind, attentive but nonintrusive atmosphere.
Big recommendation for every professional in need of a perfectly balanced instrument/bow in any price category! (Looking forward for my personal Amorim violin to be finished soon and can't wait to make music with her!)
Julia Ungureanu, Violinist, Germany
When I play, my cello by Luiz Amorim, what happens is that I almost forget that I am playing a modern instrument. The deep sound of the basses of this instrument is really very unique and this reminds me of some of the great cellos that I have tried before in my life, Strad, Montagnana, and a few other ones. It has so many of the qualities that you expect from an instrument that is 300 years old or more.
Antonio Meneses, Cellist, Brazil
Had a truly wonderful experience. Amorim Fine Violins is a great place to visit if you need to find a new instrument, to fix your own or to get any advices regarding string instruments. People working there are super kind, welcoming and professional. Highly recommended!
