A violin blog must introduce the great Antonio Stradivari! Did Antonio learn in the Amati workshop? Did he learn next to Andreas Guarnerius? Did he use the label "Amati"? We may never know!
He did start with some maple backs cut on the slab (i.e.one piece construction). At ViolinsofPlymouth, I have started with a "slab" back as Stradivari did...
Great violin with a length of 13 3/4". Perfect for a smaller player but offering a bold sound!
