Labeled Alexander Gaglianus - - Violin - Unknown

A fine full-size (4/4) violin, labeled: “Alexander Gaglianus me fecit Neapoli 1726.” The instrument presents in good overall condition and remains fully playable. It shows a few small cracks on the top, all of which have been professionally repaired and are stable. The violin has been recently fitted with a new boxwood setup and new strings, ensuring reliable performance and ease of use. The model is well proportioned, with elegant lines typical of classical Italian craftsmanship. Over time, the instrument has developed a pleasing natural patina, enhancing both its visual character and its historical appeal. Measurements are as follows: back length 358 mm; upper bout 169 mm; middle bout 114 mm; lower bout 209 mm; total length 588 mm. Tonally, the violin offers a warm, rich, and resonant sound, with good projection and a balanced response across all registers, making it suitable for both advanced players and soloistic repertoire. Violins and bows described as 'certified' or 'attributed' include images of their certificates and are therefore considered to have a higher degree of documented certainty regarding maker, origin, and age than instruments described only as 'labelled' (violins) or 'stamped' (bows), for which we provide no guarantee of any kind
