      Full description

      This outstanding violin by Giacomo & Leandro Bisiach, crafted circa 1945 in Milan, reflects the finest characteristics of the Milanese school under the enduring legacy of Leandro Bisiach Senior. Made during the final period in which their father remained active in the workshop, this piece stands as a testament to the meticulous craftsmanship and stylistic maturity of the Bisiach brothers.

      The violin remains in pure mint condition, preserving its original and untouched orange-red varnish laid over a deep golden ground—an element that gives the instrument remarkable warmth and depth. The two-piece maple back, finely and handsomely figured, is a signature feature of the Bisiachs’ finest instruments from this era, and is matched by equally high-quality maple used for the neck and head. The spruce top is made from resonant Italian tonewood of fine grain, reinforcing the quality and care in material selection.

      While the instrument is rich in tonal clarity and warmth, its most fascinating visual aspect is the precisely carved edgework, which gives a striking elegance to the outline and confirms the hands of two master craftsmen. This violin is a piece of living history—combining family heritage, perfect preservation, and the distinctive beauty of post-war Italian violin making.

      Giacomo & Leandro Bisiach

      Giacomo (1900–1995) and Leandro Jr. (1904–1982) Bisiach were two prominent members of the renowned Bisiach family of violin makers, carrying forward the legacy established by their father, Leandro Bisiach Sr. (1864–1946). Based in Milan, the brothers were instrumental in maintaining the high standards of Italian violin-making throughout the 20th century. Their work combined traditional craftsmanship with a refined aesthetic, contributing significantly to the revival of the Lombard school of lutherie.Learn more

      Violin Bow by Emil Max Penzel, Erlbach, c. 1930

      By Emil Max Penzel  |  

      A unique mastermaker crafted this Exceptional Pre-WorldWarII German bow. One of the most recognized makers of Germany's early 1900s, Emil Max Penzel, elegantly displays his references and his origins among the makers of the Pfretszchner workshop in this bow, yet preserves and flaunts his own style. In our opinion, the most noticeable aspect of this bow, beyond the excellent craftsmanship, is the stunning high-quality Pernambuco wood.
