4/4 violin, Amati "Alard" style. £3,220

This is the third instrument of this model from my "Alard" mould. The original instrument is currently part of the Hill collection in the Ashmolean Museum, Oxford, and is an absolutely breathtaking example of Nicola Amati's work, I never tire of seeing it, nor making it.
This interpretation is made from medium figured Maple to the back, ribs and neck, with quality boxwood fittings and strung with Thomastik Dominant strings, giving a beautiful, crisp and lively response, despite it's mellow tone.
