1704 "Betts" & "Chanot-Chardon, Bragga" fusion Stradivarius Replica
A 2020 Cornerless Maple Heritage Collection Violin.
Made with European, old grown, curly maple and Master grade Engelmann Spruce and an antiqued finish.
FSC certified Katalox Fittings based on Jean-Baptiste Vuillaume's "St. Cecilia" Tailpiece and "Fleur de Lis" model pegs.
A deep robust instrument, with a powerful round golden tone. The instrument has a great clear response accross all the strings.
This instrument utilizes a computed tomography (CT) scan of the 1704 "Betts" Stradivarius violin, fused with the 1726 "Guitar, Chanot-Chardon, Braga" Stradivarius violin pattern.
The Braga pattern extends the center bouts by 6.35mm and utilizes the outer edge thickness for extension, not altering the original hand carved thickness graduations of the bottom and top plates of the original 1704 "Betts" Stradivarius violin.
A CT replica, uses complex machines to cut each component of an instrument, including the inner blocks, top plate, back plate, bass bar, and scroll to create a most exact replica possible of an original hand carved instrument's sound chamber.
