Violin 1737

This violin, crafted in 1737 by Italian luthier Carlo Antonio Testore, is a prime example of the high quality craftsmanship of the Cremonese school of violin making. Testore, born in 1687 and active until his death in 1765, is known for his meticulous attention to detail and the warm, resonant tone of his instruments. The violin is currently housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City and is a testament to the enduring legacy of Italian violin making.
