There was no original label in the violin I seek to re-create in this model. This violin would have been made for the Royal Household either late in the reign of Charles II (r.1660-1685). This instrument has been attributed to Ralph Agutter,a London maker, who was active at this time. The neck and pegbox are very similar to those belonging to two Agutter violins in private collections, one of which is also carved on the back.

What else is unique about this violin?
The back of the violin is carved from a single piece of maple. The delicate craftworks adds to the uniqueness for this violin, which in my opinion gives it added personality, making it a charming instrument to own. People are definitely going to talk about this instrument. It also plays wonderfully nicely as good quality tonewoods are used. Definitely a keeper.

This violin is part of our “Make it good and make it rare” collection, which we limit the number of such violin we make at our workshop so there is very little in circulation. As time goes by, the value of this instrument is expected to appreciate, because it is made a concert instrument, using some of the best wood and by one of our most respected violinmakers in our stable. We hope you will enjoy it.
