1670 Francesco Rugeri

Here is the most delightful Cremonese violin by the great Francesco Rugeri. When you have the opportunity to help people buy instruments of this calibre all you can do is smile.

The table on this violin is of special note given its tremendous patina. It has a large personality when played and it reminds you of a very fine Italian car in that when you put your foot down on the accelerator there is plenty of power in reserve.
