Master Massimo Ardoli, Cremona (Italy), 2023, model Antonio Stradivari "Soil 1714"

This violin model Antonio Stradivari "Soil 1714" is a personal model, handcrafted in Cremona by the Master Massimo Ardoli in his workshop in the year 2023.

The top is made of beautiful red spruce from Val di Fiemme (Italy) with regular, deep, and well-marked fine grain. It is the same spruce already used by the great Cremonese Master violin makers which gives maximum musicality because it is particularly elastic. The aesthetically unique balkan maple is used for the back in two pieces, here with regular and well-marked medium-large grain, as well as for the head, here characterized by well-marked, regular medium grain.

The master's expertly crafted alcohol varnish is orange-brown in color with brilliant golden-red reflections.

Master Ardoli is a guarantee of quality, teacher of construction and varnishing at the International School of Violin Making of Cremona since '96 and member of the Consortium of Violinmakers Cremona.
