One of the most soloistic and powerful violins we have ever played on, without a doubt. This Alf violin is on a level of its own. In the hand, it feels and sounds very similar to a golden period Stradivari we recently played. The response is immediate, every note has a deep ring and is full of overtones. The power is second to none and the sound has a shimmering quality, reminiscent of the great recordings. An absolute must-try violin!
