Wave Violins Guarneri 'del Gesù' 2013 - Oil Varnish

Exquisite Guarneri "Ole Bull" replica Violin. Made in the workshops of Wave Violins. Model reference WV 630 - from their Advanced" range. About the makers - from their website: The founders, Dr David Yin and Dr Cherry Tao, are both graduates from Essex University in the UK. Our mission and values at Wave Violins is to combine modern PLATE TUNING technologies with traditional Italian violinmaking craftsmanship to recreate the best Italian Cremona instruments at a reasonable price.

From what I can gather Wave Violins have been "incorporated" into Yita Violins since 2019 or thereabouts, their website can still be found.

This instrument is 11 years old and has been well looked after. As you will see in the photographs the finish is deliberately "antiqued" with both tooling marks, ageing and old varnish techniques, so any recent wear and tear is impossible to identify, suffice to say it looks stunning to the naked eye. The wood grain is equally impressive and the back, ribs and neck are very well matched.

As set up with Larson I'l Cannone strings the violin responds well to delicate playing, indeed it has spent many years being played in a Baroque Quartet. If you are looking for a bold, loud instrument this is not it, indeed your ears will thank you for choosing this violin.

Supplied in lightweight case - no bow. Delivery will be by DPD next day service on agreed day requiring signature upon receipt.

I have a made a short video and recording here by someone not used to delicate playing - sound starts after 15 seconds...
