A brown/red oil varnish with a softer transparency and average flame depth with golden undertones creating an overall amber tint.
The chin rest is handmade from maple and lacquered black.

Beautifully made and in a class of its own. This violin is exceptionally responsive throughout its range. It is very powerful and plays upper positions with ease.
