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.
