A Violin by Luiz Amorim
Copy of Joseph Guarneri “del Gesù” Cannone, 1743
Cremona, 2021
A precise copy crafted by a master maker. Luiz’s careful hands and attentive eyes highlight his skills as an artisan by replicating all the precise details of the original one – not to mention the Genova’s city stamp on the back of the scroll. For us, the high point of this violin is the imponent and characteristic volute, capable of easily distinguishing this instrument from others. More

Full description
"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
