This model combines all the benefits of our top luthiers' plate tuning techniques with the special German-style multi-layer shaded spirit varnish also found on our model 405 instruments. The result is a modestly priced master instrument with outstanding projection, tone color, and playability, not to mention beautiful flamed maple and premium European spruce tonewoods enhanced by the luminous hand-applied varnish.

  • Hand-carved from premium tonewoods under the direction of master violin makers
  • Expertly tuned plates for optimal sound and response
  • Beautiful hand-applied multi-layer spirit varnish in the early 20th century Markneukirchen German style
  • Available in sizes 17" - 13" in 1" increments,
