Satisfaction Guaranteed ! Email: fineviolins@comcast.net This gorgeous instrument is handcrafted by Ivan Kocheff, a professional luthier from Europe, after the famous "Cannon" violin by Giuseppe Guarnerius del Gesu  from 1742. The genuine Guarnerius violin was the favorite instrument of Niccolo Paganini, one of the greatest violin virtuosi of all times.  Paganini named the violin "Il Cannone" (the Cannon) for its prodigious sound. This Kocheff violin is carved of select well-seasoned European spruce and maple tone wood from the Balkans. It is finished with premium-quality Italian varnish. The finish features skillful antiqueing and a beautiful amber-redish color of gorgeous transparency that resembles the Original. This instrument has a remarkably rich and powerful tone with lots of brilliance and beautiful silvery nuances typically found in much more expensive violins. Truly, it is one of the best sounding Kocheff violins I have ever seen! Thus, it is the perfect choice for professional musicians and advanced students. The violin comes equipped with beautiful hand-carved ebony fittings, Vision Solo Titanium strings, and a Deluxe Aubert A Mirecourt maple bridge from France.  We offer a 10-day free trial period (see details below).
