Fantastic sounding Guarneri del Gesù Model Violin by Spanish maker Gonzalo Bayolo. We are big fans of Gonzalo's instruments at MyLuthier and we think he is one of the great makers of our generation. A perfect example, this violin achieves a rare balance of power and warmth. It speaks beautifully in all registers and the sound is characterized by its resonance and core.

We have no doubt that Gonzalo Bayolo will be widely recognised as one of the stand out makers of his generation. We have worked with him for years and he seems to raise the bar with every new creation. The sound has incredible depth and resonance and the whole instrument becomes alive the moment you start playing on it. Truly one to try in person!

Gonzalo Bayolo is one of our favourite makers. He is distinguishing himself as one of the finest makers of his generation. This latest example is yet another stunning Guarneri model, this one after the 1737 King Joseph. The body is slightly on the smaller side but it feels extremely comfortable to play. The sound is fiery and strong. The E string has outstanding brilliance and projection without sacrificing any sweetness or lyricism. The G string is rich and full and the two middle strings are very resonant and balanced allowing players to benefit from the full range of the instrument. There are no weak points; this instrument would be suited to any type of player but would shine in the hands of a soloist, orchestral leader or chamber musician.
