Amati Inspired Violin

A recently completed violin. Inspiration came from the outlines from a 1649 Nicolo Amati instrument. I enlarged the body and altered the arching from the original to create a violin with a bigger tonal presence better suited to the requirements of modern players. Contrary to mythology, a very good violin can sound very good right from the start.  This one found a home six days after it was strung for the first time.
