Italian violins
The epitome of virtuoso craftsmanship
Italian violins enjoy an outstanding reputation in the music world and are widely regarded as the ultimate in virtuoso artisanry and excellent acoustic properties. And this truth not solely applies on the violins of the “golden age” of Cremona made by the Italian violin makers Antonio Stradivari, Nicolò Amati, Lorenzo Storioni and Giuseppe Guarneri del Gesù who brought the modern Italian violin model to the heights which to this day serve as the internationally acknowledged and unsurpassed standard of artisanry. It is their accomplishments and the craft tradition of Italian violins and lutes dating far back to the late Middle Ages which allowed Cremona violin makers to achieve what they did, and over the centuries their traditions assumed the nature of a benchmark standard that served as a point of reference, even for the characteristic styles of violin making traditions in other countries.
Corilon's Italian violin collection - fine Italian violins for sale
Italy served as an indispensable source of both violin knowledge and inspiration as well as premium-quality materials for the work of such masters as Tyrolean Jakob Stainer, whose violins were more popular than the Italian violin classics up until the early 19th century. In the 20th century, a new circle of excellent contemporary violin makers in Cremona formed on the fringes of the violin making school in Cremona. The major role of Cremona and its historic venue should not detract from the virtues of other regional Italian violin traditions that also featured perfectly crafted and distinctive Italian violins which are worthy heirs of Amati, Antonio Stradivari and Guarneri – and continually re-interpret the Italian violin anew.
The craftsmanship and techniques employed by Italian violin makers have had a profound influence on the art of violin making worldwide. Their innovations in design, wood selection, varnish, and construction techniques have shaped the standards and principles followed by contemporary violin makers.
