Bright and Textured Sound for Advancing Players.
This violin, labeled Hammond Ashley violin, has a voice that is bright and nuanced. Its lower register is full and robust, while the A and D strings are perfectly balanced, allowing for seamless melodies across this range. The upper register is particularly brilliant and capable of a sweet, singing quality. This violin offers a great response time with powerful projection, giving the player the ability to stand out when needed. At the same time, its warm and textured sound is ideal for blending into an orchestral setting.
This instrument is an example of the crafting style of Germany between 1850 - 1900, featuring a higher arching on the top plate. Currently fitted with Evah Gold strings to enhance its warmth and a Wittner tailpiece for easier tuning, this Hammond Ashley violin is an excellent choice for advancing players who need a versatile instrument that can perform in a variety of settings.
