Violin by Dongpil Im, Cremona 2022

A Guarneri del Gesu patterned violin, this instrument was crafted by the modeen Cremonese master Dongil Im. This unantiqued vioin is very characteristic of the modern Cremonese school and boasts very tidy and superb woodworking and a multifaceted golden varnish throughout. A finely figured two piece back and boxwood fittings compliment it's handsome appearance.
