<\/a><\/figure><\/li><\/ul><\/div>\nThe wood is not quite so dramatic in appearance; a more conventional two-piece arrangement of matched maple with a more subtle transverse flame is framed by slightly heavier edges and broader corners. The outline is overall slightly reduced, indicating the use of a new or altered mould or form in the workshop. This new form would provide the consistent model for the rest of Guadagnini’s period in Milan.<\/p><\/p>\n\n\n\n
The soundholes are from the same template as the earlier violin, showing very clean and regular craftsmanship, but the lower circles have developed the distinctive oval shape which became a hallmark of Guadagnini for most of his career. They are almost certainly made initially with a circular cutter, as most makers would do, but modified with the knife. The lower wings appear long and slightly tapered, but are still without the slight flute that was a convention amongst other classical Italian makers. The head is very much like the previous example, but the throat is a little more closed; another quirk of Guadagnini’s was to extend the throat deep under the volute, giving the pegbox a very strong taper and a shallow terminus.<\/p><\/p>\n\n\n\n
The varnish is a similar rich red concoction, but appears to have a little more substance than that of the 1751 violin. The distinctive wear pattern on the back shows a broken edge which is quite thick and chippy, revealing a clear white coat beneath.<\/p><\/p>\n\n\n\n
The violin is in an equally fine state of preservation to that of the 1751 example, and is a first-class concert instrument. It bears certificates of authenticity from J. & A. Beare and Peter Biddulph, and was acquired by Dextra Musica in 2006.<\/p><\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
