Cremona Maestro Violin Special Edition 1
***Discontinued*** and quite rare.
SV-1700 was made I believe in 2017 and is no longer offered or produced.
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.

A sound sample and assessment by our wonderful professional Catherine! Click Here for the sound sample and review on YouTube.
Every Millimeter matters, and is crucial on a violin. One millimeter difference on the bridge height, or string height, makes the difference between an effortless playing violin, or one that's difficult and hard to play.
It's the Formula One (F1) sports car of instruments. They are hand built and therefore unique, each requires a great deal of attention and precision for the player. That's why violins purchased from mass markets like Amazon are frowned upon, they typically don't get the attention and fine details right that ensure a violin is at its peak for the player. It takes a skilled craftsman or luthier to ensure everything is correct from the tail piece, to the sound post, to the bridge, string height, and pegs just to name a few of the hundreds of variables that come together to make a great sounding violin.
Each violin sold here has been reviewed to ensure the violin is performance ready, and set up properly for the player.
Thank you for your time, and play on my friends!
