This Bulgarian violin was handcrafted in the style of the Carrodus violin by Giuseppe Guarnerius del Gesu (1743).

The lovely instrument was made in a small workshop in Bulgaria's Kazanlak region and finished by fine maker Ivan Kocheff. The violin is carved of select well-seasoned European spruce and Balkan maple. The vibrantly shaded one-piece, flamed back is stunning.

It is finished with a matte premium-quality Italian spirit varnish. The finish features skillful antiquing by Kocheff himself and a magnificent amber-redish color of great transparency.

The sound of this instrument is rich and powerful with beautiful nuances and ringing overtones that render the tonal characteristics of a mature Italian violin. The instrument is suitable for advanced students or adults seeking a substantial upgrade to their instrument.

The violin is equipped with fine, European hand-carved & decorative rosewood fittings, Vision Titanium perlon-core strings, and a deluxe German-made maple bridge.

We guarantee this instrument's tone will improve significantly as played over the next year or your money back. More details

All our violins have been carefully selected for their strong, clear tone and are luthier set up, including new bridge, soundpost and strings. Most used instruments have been upgraded with quality matching pegs, end button, tailpiece and chinrest.

Trades are considered towards the purchase price. Other instruments can be located and brought in upon request.

Regarding the authenticity of instrument labels, it is a tricky businessto prove authenticity of instruments even for the finest luthiers. Sometimes the counterfeits can be finer than the originals! Therefore we regret that we cannot ensure the authenticity of used instruments unless they come with a certificate.

All instruments are sold as-is. An exception is with instruments with repaired cracks which open up, in which case we would have it repaired for you.
