Possibly the best-known maker in France, Frédéric Chaudière is consistently making instruments of very high quality. This violin is no different, boasting his signature style with a deep red and honey-brown colour that enhances the natural grain of the wood. The one-piece back exhibits a strong, flamed maple with a distinct, flowing pattern, perfect for aesthetic and acoustic qualities. In terms of sound, it has a characteristic dark Guarneri sound with emphasis on the G string. The natural fullness of the instrument allows it to resonate freely and gives the musician a lot of flexibility. The power and colour palette makes this one of the most versatile violins we have.
