Simone Sedda


	1.	Wood:
	•	The body of the violin is made of high-quality maple for the back, sides, and neck, and spruce for the top plate. Maple is known for its durability and fine grain, which is ideal for the back and sides, while spruce provides excellent acoustic properties for the top.

	2.	Wood Quality:
	•	The wood quality is excellent, exhibiting a fine grain pattern and uniformity, indicative of a well-crafted instrument. The flame on the maple back is particularly notable, showing a high degree of figure.

	3.	Varnish:
	•	The varnish is a traditional amber-brown, applied evenly with a glossy finish. It enhances the natural beauty of the wood and provides protection. The varnish appears to be hand-applied, allowing for a warm, rich color that enhances the wood’s natural grain.

	4.	Purfling:
	•	The purfling is inlaid and appears to be made of traditional ebony, providing both decorative and structural benefits. It is meticulously executed, with clean and precise lines.

	5.	F-Holes:
	•	The f-holes are traditionally shaped, with clean and precise edges. They are well-proportioned and contribute to the instrument’s aesthetic and acoustic quality.

	6.	Fingerboard and Tailpiece:
	•	The fingerboard is made of ebony, a standard material for its hardness and smooth playing surface. The tailpiece is also ebony, fitted with fine tuners for each string, which is a modern adaptation for ease of tuning.

	7.	Bridge:
	•	The bridge is properly fitted and shaped, showing signs of being custom carved to match the curvature of the fingerboard and the top plate. It ensures optimal string height and spacing.

	8.	Strings and Setup:
	•	The strings are high-quality synthetic core with metal winding, suitable for a rich, balanced tone. The setup is professional, with the correct string height and spacing for comfortable playing.

	9.	Scroll:
	•	The scroll is elegantly carved with clean lines and smooth curves. It exhibits excellent craftsmanship, typical of high-quality violins.


	•	No visible damage is noted, indicating the instrument is well-maintained or recently restored.

	Included with the Violin:
	•	The violin includes a chin rest, and the setup includes fine tuners on the tailpiece.

Construction Style and Influences:

	1.	Building Style:
	•	The violin follows the traditional Cremonese style, influenced by the classic designs of Stradivari and Guarneri. This is evident in the shape of the body, the style of the f-holes, and the overall proportions of the instrument.

	2.	F-Holes:
	•	The f-holes are designed in the classic Cremonese style, with elongated, narrow openings that are precisely cut. This style is known for enhancing the violin’s acoustic properties, providing a clear, powerful sound.
	3.	Influences and Methods:
	•	The violin is constructed using methods that reflect traditional Italian craftsmanship. This includes the use of high-quality tonewoods, hand-carved plates, and a meticulous varnishing process. The instrument likely employs an internal mold for construction, a technique pioneered by the Amati family and further developed by Stradivari.
