This fiddle has no label, but the luthier for Fiddler's Alley believes it to be an Italian instrument, copied after an early Strad. He estimates it at 100+ years. It has a sweet, mellow tone, yet is has great power and projection.
“Italian Januarius Gagliano”
This violin is quite old and shows evidence of extensive playing and enjoyment. It is beautifully constructed and has great power, projection, sustain, wonderful tone, and balance.
