G. B. Guadagnini Violin 1774 Model
The client chose this model for its elegant outline and longer length (356mm).
The very old back board was selected for its character and was slightly narrow requiring the addition of 'wings'.
The front, which is also old, has a slightly narrow grain and superb resonance.
