Full description
This northern Italian violin outstands the high-quality craftsmanship present in Dirlotti's work, notable for its scroll and edge finishing. This violin, inspired by the work of his contemporary violin makers from the Veneto region, highlights Dirlotti's handcraft skills, intensely developed during the time he worked for Sgarabotto and Bisiach workshops under commission through the 1910s. The instrument's excellent condition allows us to see that, despite the maker's limited production due to his early death, his work presents refined attention to detail since his early career.

Viola bow by Morizot ‘Frère’, France 1950
By Louis Morizot ‘Frères’ |
This viola bow by Louis Morizot Frères, made in Mirecourt around 1950, is a refined example of mid-20th-century French bowmaking. Crafted from an octagonal Pernambuco stick of warm red-brown color and mounted in silver, it features a traditional ebony frog with a Parisian eye and the characteristic channelled rail fitting typical of the Morizot workshop. Elegant in design and well-balanced, the bow offers a fast, precise, and responsive playing experience, combining delicacy with sufficient strength to navigate a wide range of repertoire. Its tonal palette is rich and nuanced, embodying the clarity, flexibility, and refined color associated with the French tradition.
