Violin by Alberto Pasolini, Cremona 2024
This exceptional violin by Alberto Pasolini, crafted in Cremona in 2024, is a refined interpretation of a 1730s Guarneri ‘Del Gesù’ model. It embodies the bold character and expressive depth of Guarneri’s work while reflecting Pasolini’s meticulous craftsmanship. In our opinion, the striking one-piece back, with its deep, rich flames under a beautifully nuanced amber-brown varnish, is a true highlight of this instrument.

Full description
Alberto Pasolini’s 2024 violin is a masterful homage to the distinctive and powerful style of Guarneri ‘Del Gesù’ in the 1730s. Pasolini’s deep understanding of historical craftsmanship is evident in the instrument’s bold outline, generous arching, and expressive details. The violin features a top of finely selected Italian spruce with an even, resonant grain, ensuring remarkable responsiveness and tonal depth. The stunning one-piece back, made of beautifully flamed maple, enhances both the instrument’s aesthetic appeal and tonal richness.
The varnish, a deep amber-brown with golden undertones, has been expertly antiqued, lending the instrument an aged elegance that recalls the great Cremonese masters. Pasolini’s delicate shading and patina work add further character, making this violin a visually captivating piece.
Tonally, this violin delivers a compelling combination of warmth, brilliance, and depth. Its powerful yet nuanced voice offers a rich palette of colors, making it an outstanding choice for both solo and ensemble performances. Responsive, articulate, and full of personality, this violin truly captures the essence of Guarneri’s legendary sound while incorporating Pasolini’s unique artistry.
