Violin by August Diehl, Hamburg, 1891

Antique German violin by August Diehl with a strong, warm sound – modeled on Guarneri, Hamburg, around 1920

This mature violin by August Diehl is an example of the late work of this multiple award-winning master luthier. Built in the style of Giuseppe Guarneri del Gesù, it is characterized by the powerful sound typical of this model, which is rounded off by clear and sweet notes. Its mature character unfolds particularly on the lower strings with warmth and great volume.

German violin by Anton Diehl, short portrait:

• First-class craftsmanship: The carefully carved scroll and the delicate purfling with perfectly executed inlay work make the high quality of the instrument apparent at first glance.
• Classic German violin-making tradition: The transparent, reddish-brown varnish with its warm tones on a golden-yellow background defines the individual personality of this violin – and stylistically refers to the Saxon violin making tradition in which August Diehl may have completed part of his training.
• High-quality tonewoods: The particularly regular spruce of the top and the deeply flamed maple of the back make no secret of their excellent quality. Their well-balanced vibration properties perfectly match their attractive appearance.
• Strong Guarneri sound: Guarneri's historical model stands for a powerful, resonant sound – a high standard that August Diehl meets in every respect with this congenial interpretation.
• Solid investment: the reference prices for comparable instruments by August Diehl range from €8,000 to €15,000.
