Antonio Stradivari "Messiah 1716" Master Massimo Ardoli, Cremona (Italy), 2023

This violin model Antonio Stradivari "Messiah 1716" is a personal model of value rare, hand-crafted by the Master Massimo Ardoli in his workshop located in the heart of the city of Cremona in the year 2023.

The top, as it dictates the famous Cremonese tradition, is made of red spruce resonance of Val di Fiemme (Italy), where the spruce trees provide the ideal raw material for the construction of the sound box, in this model with regular fine-grain, well-marked and threading. The bottom in two pieces are traditionally made of balkan maple with regular medium-fine, well-marked and uniform flame, that ensure the beauty of the instrument, as well as the refined head, also in balkan maple with medium-fine flame.

The varnish prepared by the Master is alcohol-based, yellow-orange in color with greenish amber reflections.
