Holstein Premium Bench David 1740 Violin

Made in one of our award-winningworkshops, this Holstein violin is inspired by the original Guarneri ‘Del Gesu’ violin made in 1740. This instrument is bench made, which means that it was made individually by one of our masterluthiers from start tofinish.

The quality and dimensions of the wood is copied from the original (as well as the varnish), to achieve the same tonal qualities of the priceless Guarneri from 1740. The original was played by Ferdinand David, and in 1922, Jascha Heifetz acquired the violin. He played this violin, his favorite violin, for 65 years!
