Violin 2014
Giuseppe Guarneri Del Gesu 1730/41 Kreisler
The fascination of the unknown
In 2017, I started building this model - inspired by two extraordinary instruments: the Guarneri del Gesù 1730 ‘Kreisler’ and the 1741 ‘Hart,Kreisler’.
Interestingly, the 1741 ‘Hart,Kreisler’ was more familiar to me, as I have held the instrument in my hands several times and know its construction very well. Nevertheless, I decided in favour of the 1730 ‘Kreisler’ as a basis.
Sometimes it is the fascination of the unknown that drives us forward. This model combines masterly tradition with the joy of exploring new paths - for an instrument that inspires in sound and character.
