Private Stock Individual #234 Guarneri del Gesu 1741 “Vieuxtemps”

Introducing the private stock individually made, personal instruments by our senior luthier, under the supervision of award-winning luthier Wayne Zhao. Maker profile: Allen Wong, who has been trained under Wayne Z for over a decade, specialized in plate tuning and varnishing. Each violin goes through the same making process as our award-winning violins, from tonewood selection and preparation/treatment, arching design, graduation, and varnish. The result: a phenomenal sounding and looking violin that contains powerful projection and complex tone, with serious and artistic workmanship.

Extremely vibrant and warm, rich tone at ear, penetrating and projective in distance; virtuoso usage with smooth playability, fast response with ringing, strong core tone that takes great bow pressure as one would expect from a professional graded instrument. Made after the 1741 “Vieuxtemps” Guarneri del Gesu, 25-30 yrs old Italian spruce and flamed Bosnian maple, going through same wood treatment as our competition level violins. 354 mm body length that delivers easy playability, yet still delivering a warm, deep projection with clear, rich voice in distance. Acoustically tuned plates, following the same process as our award-winning violins, for fast and dynamic response that allows the player to control vibrato at ease. A sonorous, singing violin that can easily fill a recital hall. Excellent choice for violin performance major students or professionals in need of a serious sounding violin that can be used for both solo recital and orchestral works.

A great chance to own an individually, professionally built instrument with serious workmanship and recital ready tone, at maker direct price.
