Full description
"Considered to be one of the last works of ''del Gesù'' and named after a former owner, the famous Norwegian violinist, Ole Bull (1810-1880), this violin was his most esteemed one. Its unique and exceptional design is believed to be "Guarneri's most characteristic masterpiece" (The Hill Company). According to Peter Biddulph, the violin features the reconciliation of dark Brescian sonority with the quality and richness of the Cremonese tradition." Luiz Amorim
