It's a modified Amati body, according the tonewood that we use. You can tell it has a compact body, but this design certainly has not prevented it from having a powerful projection. It's a delicate balance act. --jp Actually my Vecchio workshop’s violins has some influences from Amati as well. It’s a modified Amati body, according the tonewood that we use.

I'm interested in maybe purchasing this violin, but I need to know how much it cost's before I can make a decision. I am in middle school, but I'm working on very complex pieces that my current violin really... can't handle. Please either E-mail or respond. Hello there, My name is Lee Ferris.

He tries to copy the sound rather than copy the violins. He made tests with different sorts of wood and varnish to get higher velocities of sound. Additional he ads carbon fiber to the wood to improve the characteristics. +++> http://www.schleske.de/unsere-forschung/einfuehrung-geigenakustik/schallanalyse/beispiele.html sincerely Martin Trittelvitz Hallo,
