This violin is a copy of the “Kreisler” 1730 Guarneri ‘del Gesu’, which is considered by experts as possibly the finest violin from the shop of Giuseppe Guarneri (Cremona, Italy 1698-1744). The violin was named after renown Austrian born violinist Fritz Kreisler (1875-1962). The original Guarneri ’del Gesu’ “Kreisler” 1730 was donated by Kreisler to the Library of Congress in 1952, where it remains in use for Library performances.

The top is two pieces of spruce with very straight, narrow grain and light figuring. The back is quartersawn maple with medium flame. The figuring on both top and back is accentuated by a rich, medium red-brown coloring which has been lightly shaded to reveal the distinct, golden reflective ground. The finish presents an antiqued appearance, resembling the finish wear and markings of the original Kreisler violin. The precise joinery and purfling have resulted in clean lines and distinguished, elegant curves. The varnish is hand brushed.

The violin tonality and bow response is clear and articulate, with robust projection, and can accommodate very a dynamic performance. With a comfortable, moderate action for fingering, this handmade violin is suitable for solo or ensemble performance for advanced students or professionals.
