Full Sized handmade violin by Bader Bonifas

This is a full-sized violin constructed in the ancient style and modeled on a Stradivarius. The label shows it to be made by C. Bader-Bonifas in 1983 in her workshop in Lausanne.

DESCRIPTION OF MATERIALS:

The back of the violin is in two pieces of flamed maple. The ribs and the base of the violin are of medium to lightly flamed maple. The lightly flamed scroll is also of maple.

The front has been formed in a beautiful fine-grained spruce, which very slightly widens towards the outside.

CULTURAL DESCRIPTION:

The making of this instrument is inspired by the Cremona school, which gives this violin its signature warmth of tone and a variety of sound colours the player can draw upon for his use.

The varnish is a coppery gold with undertones of burnt sienna giving noticeable luminosity, warmth and life to the instrument.

The careful workmanship and high quality of this instrument assures it a minimum value of 16,000 Swiss Francs (£10,750) but if it were an ancient instrument with the same sound, it would have 5 times the value.
