A Fine Contemporary Italian Violin by Andrea Solzi, Cremona, 2002

One of the new arrivals I've taken on over the past few days, this is an excellent example of modern Italian making from Cremona, the birthplace of the violin as we know it.

Crafted by Andrea Solzi in 2002, it has been the cherished instrument of its owner for many years, but he is now keen to explore a different type of sound, and therefore it is time to find this one a deserving new home. As you might expect, the level of making is really quite exceptional, and the tone is enormous and complex. An absolute must-see!
