Full description
"Each one of Guarneri's instruments is a new experiment; he shows a continuous development, always searching for something better. This violin highlights his way of work, with an appearance of delicacy, commonly not expected from ''del Gesù''. ⠀ The arching becomes fuller, and the sound holes are set higher; the edges and corners are somewhat delicate and refined - a constant characteristic of Guarneri's middle period. Like others from this period, the head was made by his father Giuseppe Guarneri ''Filius Andrea'', whose heads are recognizable by the delicate and uniform symmetry of the volute. The body of the violin is a little small, a few millimeters shorter than a standard Stradivari." Luiz Amorim
