| A fine quality violin from an acomplished maker, well made from excellent timbers.
Léonidas Nadegini also used the name Corolla as mentioned in the encyclopedia of violin makers by Karel Jalovec. This example is in good sound condition, without damage or repairs just small varnish marks and patches of varnish wear which give the instrument character. The two piece back measures 1.1/16 inches (35.7cm.). The fittings are in rosewood with an ebony fingerboard. New Dominant strings fitted and supplied in a new lightweight case. It is a powerful violin with a strong treble and deep sonorous bass. An ideal collectors and players violin. Instruments like these are becoming increasingly rare and sought after! |
