About this model This is a Vecchio 400 series violin masterpiece, varnished after a magnificent 19th century French violin owned by one of our concert master friend from Russia, and it was so beautiful and reminicence of beautiful French violins. We hope everyone will like the haunting amber as we love it. A very fine top quality violin. You can tell that the craftsmanship is excellent in all ways. This is a very careful reproduction on the original piece. It is 100% varnished by hand. This is a fine grade violin suitable for collectors, and I am sure it will surely appreciate in sound and value with time. Antiquated slightly for that fine touch, it is a violin with a lot of charisma. In old China, many houses are torned down to make way for new construction and the spruce that is used on these torned down houses can be used for making violins/violas. We're lucky to acquire some of these very special aged wood, each of at least 50 years old, to be used to make one of our best models.
