The finest luthiers collaborate to create this signature model. Every instrument is tuned and refined individually to create the ultimate tone. Translucent varnish is modeled after the finest instruments from the Golden Age of violin making. A truly special instrument for the passionate performer.
The 6 Series combines all the benefits of master luthiers’ plate tuning techniques with a special German- style multi-layer shaded spirit varnish. This results in a modestly priced master instrument with outstanding projection, tone color, and playability, not to mention beautiful flamed maple and premium spruce, enhanced by the luminous hand-applied varnish. The player will notice the aged wood for its complex sound and flexibility for advanced, nuanced playing.
