Two Rivers Strings La Mer 500 Violin

The La Mer 500 Violin was inspired by Giuseppe "del Gesù" Guarneri's famous violin from 1742 known for its exceptional sound and performance. 1742 was right in the heart of Guarneri's later period, where his instruments were known for their unique styling. It's been rumored that Guarneri made this violin while in prison for attacking a rival violin maker. While that makes for a great story, it's almost certainly a myth. This instrument features well-figured curly maple with an expertly applied and antiqued varnish. This model is most popular among advancing students as well as amateur adults looking for an affordable quality instrument.
