A Highly Collectible Violin by
Stanislai Morara, Bologna, 1890
This splendid instrument features a
stunning two-piece back cut on the slab. One must marvel at the
exquisite craftsmanship employed in the expertly matched halves
culminating in an unusual "bulls eye" in the middle. The
wonderfully poised f-holes are reminiscent of Goffriller. The
varnish is a warm and transparent golden-amber color
The tone is warm, mellow, shimmering and
clear across all registers. This is a harmonious and
characteristic example from this maker. Stanislai Morara is the
Father of Paul Morara.
This violin is in an excellent state of
preservation. It has just one professionally repaired split in the
lower right quadrant, not a saddle or soundpost split.
Bolognese violins are considered to be
amongst the most collectible of the modern Italians, wedding
visual beauty with a noble tone.
