A "vault special" selection for a talented young player at the time, offered for sale from a musician's family, this particular example Modeled after Balestrieri has an especially fine tone and response at its price point, made in 2010.
Aged European tonewood produces a beautifully layered, rich sonority, whose depth and color is brought to life by its powerful resonance.
The delicate flaming of the maple on the back of each instrument accentuates the richness and complexity of the auburn shades of our proprietary varnish carefully applied and beautifully antiqued giving each instrument the patina of age, so desired by both musicians and connoisseurs. And, they are as beautiful tonally as they are visually.
