The Maestro Series Cremona SV-1700 violin differs from the SV-1750 in one area. The 1700 is inlaid with bone, where the SV-1750 uses Mother-of-Pearl inlays.
These violins are perfect replicas of a famous
“inlaid” Stradivarius. Every detail is
faithfully reproduced, including Stradivari’s
original lozenge-and-circle, top and
back border inlays in mother of pearl.
The workmanship is exquisite
throughout.
The select, even-grained spruce top
is 100+ years old. The back is a single
piece of the choicest, 100+-year-old,
deeply-flamed maple, with matching
sides and neck. This combination yields
a broad, sympathetic tone that responds
to the slightest touch of the bow.
The varnish finish is hand-polished
to a gleaming luster. Best-quality ebony
fingerboard and dark-stained, Hill-style,
boxwood fittings complete the instrument.
