“Goldilocks” Violin 4/4

In our studio, we nicknamed this violin Goldilocks for its rich golden hue in sunlight. Auction scouts and shops in South Africa and the US suggested it might be of French, Italian, or Austrian origin. Due to its beautiful varnish and fine craftsmanship, we opted for a full restoration. Key challenges included a compound neck graft and delicate work on the top blocks. The color process was painstaking, but worth it. Our violinist has tested it extensively and praises its depth, tone, and color. Goldilocks ranks among the top five in our finest stock.
