A faithful recreation of a legendary violin
Crafted to celebrate the 300th anniversary of the “Chaconne” Stradivari, this limited-edition replica is made by master luthier Xue Ping Hu. Every detail, from the precise measurements to the antique varnish, has been carefully executed to match the original 1725 instrument. The violin’s spruce top and figured maple back are selected for their tonal properties, ensuring a resonant and balanced sound. Designed for serious musicians, this instrument offers the playability and projection expected from a high-quality Stradivari copy.
Superior craftsmanship and premium materials
The body features a two-piece highly figured maple back with matching ribs and scroll, while the top is made from fine, even-grain spruce. The hand-applied antiqued spirit varnish not only enhances its vintage appearance but also contributes to its tonal characteristics.
With rosewood Swiss model tuning pegs and a Guarneri-style chin rest, the violin maintains a traditional aesthetic while ensuring durability and stability.
Optimised for tonal excellence
Fitted with a quality French bridge by Chevalets Despiau (A Grade), this violin ensures excellent string-to-body resonance transfer. Combined with Larsen Virtuoso strings, it produces a warm, expressive sound with rich overtones and dynamic response.
