Italian violin by Raffaele Scalise, Cafasse/Turin 1989

This Italian violin by Raffaele Scalise is a contemporary masterpiece with an unmistakably Italian character. Italian violin maker Raffaele Scalise crafted this instrument in 1989 in the town of Cafasse near Turin. He chose tone woods of the finest quality, as can clearly be seen in the extremely delicate flaming of the maple used to make the two-part back and ribs. Raffaele Scalise's perfect artisanry is visible in his work with this rare kind of wood. The delicate sound holes and the dark orange-brown oil varnish against a golden background complement the violin's elegant style. It was carefully set up in our atelier and is in perfect condition and ready to play. Its clear sound will win you over; it features the bright, radiant sound rich in overtones typically Italian resonance for which instruments from the cradle of violin making are renowned.
