Violin by Giovanni Battista Virzi, New York,
1937
Professional musicians have esteemed
Virzi's instruments for their large dark tone with depth and
eveness at every dynamic level and register. Virzi is also admired
for his selection of the highest quality aged woods.
This example displays Virzis own special
formula of red-yellow varnish applied in a mottled, marbling
manner on a one-piece back. The model is of a Ferdinand Galiano.
A fine and versatile instrument that
would excel in a solo, orchestral or chamber setting.
