Full description
This exceptional violin, crafted by Caterina Rota Kim in 2024 in Cremona, pays homage to Antonio Stradivari’s PG form from his golden period. The lightly flamed single-piece maple back adds elegance, while the medium-width Italian spruce top, with its full and flatter arching, enhances projection and tonal cohesion.
Rota Kim’s restoration background shines in her precise antiquing technique, reflected in the orange-brown and golden varnish that brings warmth and depth. This violin offers a rich tonal palette—bright, clear, and powerful, yet balanced by rich overtones—making it an outstanding choice for solo performances. It is a true testament to Cremonese craftsmanship and Rota Kim’s artistry.
