All our Holstein violins are faithful reproductions to their famous originals. For our bench-made line in this price point, they share many of the same features, but are unique in their appearance as a single luthier puts an immense amount of work in modeling and carving the same shape as its original. From scroll, down to the f-holes and the highest level craftsmanship in varnish work antiquing.

This is a replica of the original Amati violin made in 1666. Though nearly all of his instruments show unsurpassed attention to precision and detail, Nicolò Amati's violins followed a relatively small pattern, with a big belly (high arch rising nearly to a ridge in the center of both the front and back of the instrument). Players tend to like this particular pattern for its warm sounds, making it suitable for chamber music.
