Tulipa 'Queen of Night'

European school · late 19th century

With its velvety bloom, the 'Queen of Night' tulip symbolises depth, nobility and timeless elegance. The mysterious, aristocratic appearance of this flower mirrors the character of this exceptional instrument — outwardly composed, yet with a strikingly distinct concert personality and charisma.

A quality European master instrument, made after the Stainer model, with a markedly concert character and a rich, charismatic tonal palette.

The instrument is distinguished by a deep, mature and rich tone, excellent projection and a quick response. The sound stays full across all registers, with pronounced carrying power and a noble, voluminous palette of colours, which makes the violin suited to concert performance and to a more demanding artistic repertoire.

The darker golden-amber original varnish, harmonious proportions and carefully selected wood give the instrument an elegant and timeless appearance. The marked openness of the sound and its fine resonance make it evident that the instrument was played a great deal throughout its history, which is reflected in its maturity and exceptional tonal freedom.

It is therefore a quality master instrument of markedly individual character, intended for a violinist seeking a rich concert sound, reliable projection and a wide palette of expression.
