Italian 3/4 violin, master violin by Antonio Venturini

Italian 3/4 master violin made by Antonio Venturini to meet the highest artistic standards. Born in 1941, this master craftsman began his path in other fields and initially worked in surveying and auto mechanics as welll as on the Italian railroad. After completing his training at the school of violin making in Cremona in 1978, he spent four years under the famous master Stefano Conia. In 1985 Antonio Venturini opened his own atelier and consistently applied his exacting values as a craftsman, as can be seen by this Italian violin, which was created in the last years ofhis life. The 3/4 violin is in perfect condition and an outstanding representation of his work: Premium tone woods were used with great care and coated with a rich, lustrous deep red varnish. This modern Italian 3/4 master violin’s magnificent sound is loud and projects well, with a bright, powerful clarity and a gentle note to it; it expresses the voice of a Cremonese master.

This 3/4 violin comes from his estate and was entrusted to us for sale by the Venturini family. A Corilon certificate is included in the price.
