Violin by Lorenzo Frignani, Modena, 2025
Sold
Full description
This high-quality Italian violin, modeled personally after Stradivari's principles, carries a significant amount of the personal character of this master maker's work. The beautiful one-piece back with a deep, flamed figure is enhanced by clear, transparent red-orange varnish, featuring slight wear details that bring out a natural look. The finishing refinement is remarkable, and the elegant personal touch from Frignani combines the classic Cremonese tradition with elements of the Emilian Romagna school of violin making, in which Maestro Frignani is deeply involved, notably in the fine and delicate edges of the scroll.
