Full description
The wood chosen for this violin follows the characteristics of the original instrument. The top's spruce was carefully selected and comes from Val di Fiemme, the same source the Cremonese Masters used to get their wood. The one-piece back maple with medium flames comes from the Balkans.
The violin receives its name from its first known owner, violinist Giovanni Battista Viotti, who is said to have received it as a love token from Catherine the Great. Many consider the violin being second in quality and in preservation only to the celebrated "Messiah" Stradivarius. This instrument is painted with a bright reddish-brown varnish." Luiz Amorim

Viola bow by Morizot ‘Frère’, France 1950
By Louis Morizot ‘Frères’ |
This viola bow by Louis Morizot Frères, made in Mirecourt around 1950, is a refined example of mid-20th-century French bowmaking. Crafted from an octagonal Pernambuco stick of warm red-brown color and mounted in silver, it features a traditional ebony frog with a Parisian eye and the characteristic channelled rail fitting typical of the Morizot workshop. Elegant in design and well-balanced, the bow offers a fast, precise, and responsive playing experience, combining delicacy with sufficient strength to navigate a wide range of repertoire. Its tonal palette is rich and nuanced, embodying the clarity, flexibility, and refined color associated with the French tradition.
