Simone Sedda

You are bidding on a very fine and rare antique (18th century) 4/4 violin, labeled Bernardus Calcanius Fecit Genuae Anno 1740.
The instrument remains in ready to play condition with grafted scroll and some old repaired cracks. The whole length of the violin is 589 mm and the back 351 mm. The width of the upper bouts: 166 mm; middle bouts: 111 mm; lower bouts: 202 mm. 
Materials: very nice two pieces narrow flamed maple back and nice high grained spruce top. Golden-brown varnish. Old ebony set up. New strings and new bridge. The sound of this instrument is of a charming character, warm and matured in its lower registers, bright and sweet in the upper registers. For any further questions feel free to contact me.

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.
