Inspired by one of the most beautiful violins ever made, the 1737 "King Joseph" Guarneri. This John Cheng model has the unmistakable Guarneri sound - dark, complex and voluptuous, with great projection. The beautiful reddish-brown antique varnish is decidedly dramatic and inspiring. Setup in Ann Arbor by our professional staff, fitted with top-level strings and tested and adjusted by a skilled player to achieve optimal performance.

    Love At First Bow Stroke

    It was love at first bow stroke! This violin just sings with amazing projection and clarity, an exceptionally strong and full bodied low end, with a great balance across all the strings. Although the finish wasn't quite what I expected in a seemingly thick "antiqued" varnish it seemed to perfectly fit the instrument after getting to know it better. It remained strong and clear all the way up the fingerboard, and so easy to play. Passages I used to struggle with on my old violin were suddenly flowing, not to mention the harmonics that ring on forever as well. The Presto Impulse bow was also a delight to use, creating a very responsive and inspiring combination. The case of course is perfectly adequate and I would highly recommend this outfit to anyone looking to advance their playing to a new level. ... (See Full Review)
