Ernst Heinrich Roth
Violin 1983
This
violin was made in the shop of Ernst Heinrich Roth in 1983. The label reads as follows:
“Ernst Heinrich Roth
Markneukirchen, Germany 1983
Reproduction of Josef Guarnerius
Cremona 1732”
The instrument is in near perfect condition, with only a few shallow
scratches on the varnish with one slightly deeper nick just to the outer border
of the left F Hole. There are no
cracks on the corpus or the neck/scroll.
The two piece spruce top is of even straight grain that widens out
slightly in the outer bouts. The
two piece maple back has a tight even flame throughout, with ribs and neck to
match. The dimensions of the
corpus, corners, purfling, arching and F holes are
all in keeping with the style of Josef Guarnerius,
also known as Guarnerius del Gesu’. The violin has a very large sound and is
of solo quality in its sonority.
Price is $3200.
