It is based on a Guarneri del Jesu of Cremona 1734 'The Rhode.' Note of interest - this was a gift from my father who happened to be an exceptional negotiator. Whilst the price sought back in 2006 was £5000, my father managed to lower the price to £4250. It has been my very own red violin for 20 years and I have loved playing it ever since. I have recently inherited a second violin which, whilst not so striking or powerful in sound, is perfectly adequate for my weekly amateur orchestral playing whilst I now focus on developing my cello playing.Sat, 01 Aug 2026 11:40:25 +0100https://debussy.musicalchairs.info/sales/20954https://debussy.musicalchairs.info/sales/20954For most violinists, performing a concerto with a full orchestra is rare.
