$6,500 - VIOLIN by Matthew Schmidt (Mittenwald, 2007)
This is the second-last (and my favourite) of the instruments that I built while studying violinmaking in Mittenwald, Germany. It combines gorgeous tonewoods (stunning one-piece back and matching ribs/neck) with the voluptuous curves of its late-Amati modelling. A fine, sweet tone with plenty of power and reserve.
For more information about my violinmaking, see New Instrument Making.
