Modern British violin making is rooted in a rigorous educational tradition. Institutions like the Newark School of Violin Making have turned the UK into a global magnet for talent. This has resulted in a community of makers who don't just "copy" the old masters like Stradivari or Guarneri, but seek to understand the underlying physics and soul of their instruments.
The second iteration of Christopher Maynard's violins is as impressive as the first. This is an Amati model and is a striking copy! From the details on the scroll, f holes and corners to the excellent antiquing, everything about this violin is impressive. The sound is reminiscent of the pre-Stradivarius Cremonese makers. It is very warm and round, with a large palette of colours, enabling the player to use many different expressions. As a warmer instrument, it doesn't quite have the projection of the Stradivari model but more than makes up for it in nuance and balance. This would be ideal for a chamber or orchestral musician looking for an instrument with a beautiful sound that blends with ease.
