  • Violin – German c. 1910-1945

    This lone violin is an exception here, belonged to a family member, and hopefully will find its new home through a cellist friend.  It is a German instrument c. 1910-1945s, based on a classic Cremonese Gagliano pattern.   Based on good quality of materials and craftsmanship, stable structural condition, good tonal quality, the value has been placed at $5,000.  It is paired with an Adolf Schuster*** pernambuco bow $1800.  It is outfitted with a new Bam St. Germaine III case.  Additional information and documentation provided upon request.  We prefer a local SC sale, but have a satellite presence in Charlottesville and Savannah which helps expand the audience.

  • Vivo Guadagnini 1777 replica

    This popular model is fun to set up with a variety of great parts.  We start with Chuck Herin’s Pegheds which allows us to use tailpieces like this ConCarbo unidirectional CF tailpiece in the harp style, for a longer vibrating length on the C string.  Belgian bridge, Rondo strings and NHM composite fitting to fit a variety of 10mm endpins complete the setup.

  • Guadagnini 1777 replica

    This Guadagnini replica is carved of European spruce and maple.  It’s been set up here with ebony Pegheds, a French bridge,  ConCarbo French twill tailpiece,  NHM composite fitting for 10mm endpins, and Rondo strings.  Part of the appeal of the Guad is its very comfortable proportions and 682 mm string length, and then there’s the warm tone, resonance, and easy response.
