Amaryllis Regia
Birger Nilsson, Ystad
Like a royal amaryllis, Amaryllis Regia enchants with its majestic appearance, radiant beauty and distinctive character.
This full-size (4/4) master violin, made in 1962 in the Swedish town of Ystad, bears the label Birger Nilsson. The instrument combines the quality Northern European lutherie tradition with an exceptionally open, carrying and mature tone.
It features a two-piece spruce top and a two-piece maple back with fine to moderately pronounced flames. Its lively original red-amber varnish stands out, giving the instrument warmth, lustre and a recognisable artistic character.
The violin's model is somewhat wider and more robust, which contributes to a rich sound, excellent projection and balance across all registers. The instrument is distinguished by a clear response, a full tone and a reliable performance both in chamber playing and on the concert stage.
Like the flower of the royal amaryllis, this violin does not go unnoticed. Its sonic presence is distinctive, yet noble and elegant. It suits advanced students of music schools, conservatory and academy students, and violinists seeking a quality European master instrument with a strong concert character.
Available for rent
The violin is part of the Violin Garden Collection and is available for long-term or project rental.
