This fine violin is attributed to Santo Serafin, one of the most highly regarded makers of the 18th century Venetian school. Serafin’s instruments are admired for their elegant arching, refined craftsmanship, and warm, resonant tonal qualities, often described as combining the brilliance of the Cremonese tradition with the lyrical sweetness characteristic of Venice.
This violin produces a beautiful and pure tone with rich tonal colors. It is an exceptional instrument that combines expressive power with remarkable stability.
