    Full description

    This very distinctive violin clearly has its roots deep down in the 20th century Mantuan violin-making tradition, following the style and school of Stefano Scarampella. Despite its label and the certificate from the maker Mario Gadda attesting the violin's authorship to his father Gaetano, the craftsmanship, its aesthetic characteristics, and general condition confirm that the instrument was actually built by Mario himself. This was, most probably, an attempt to increase the instrument's value at the time.

    Mario Gadda

    Violin bow by Marta Lucchi, silver mounted, black

    By Marta Lucchi  |  , Cremona

    A violin bow crafted by the hands of a master maker. Marta’s long experience as a bow maker allows expressiveness in her characteristic work that follows her father’s style. For us, the delicate thin Pernambuco stick together with the short screw is this violin bow’s highlight.
