Azalea Aurea

Maurenkirchen – Bohemian school

Golden muse

This intriguing full-size (4/4) violin comes from the German-Bohemian lutherie tradition, which produced many quality concert and study instruments in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

The instrument bears the traces of a rich musical history and, despite the absence of a label, radiates the character of the old European lutherie tradition. It attracts with its natural patina, warm look and timeless elegance.

It features a beautifully shaped body with a two-piece spruce top and a two-piece maple back adorned with fine horizontal flames. The warm amber-brown original varnish emphasises the natural beauty of the wood and gives the instrument a noble, mature character.

Years of use have imparted a special personality to the violin, one that can be felt at first sight. Such instruments often hold the stories of generations of musicians and are an appealing choice for violinists seeking an instrument with soul and a distinctive character.
