Tone and Character: The Plowden and Pernambuco violin features a warm, focused core tone enhanced by exceptional clarity and resonance. Its sound speaks with remarkable body and complexity, enriched with lustrous harmonics and vibrant sympathetic resonance. Elegantly balanced and powerful across its range, the instrument offers rich, resonant bass and singing upper tones, preserving the distinctive qualities of each string. With outstanding projection and impressive sensitivity, this violin delivers a broad tonal palette with great versatility.
Overview Description: The Dereck Coons Plowden and Pernambuco, inspired by the Guarneri del Gesu 1735 ‘Plowden’, is a harmonious blend of visual and tonal beauty. Its rich oil varnish infused with pernambuco lake accentuates the fine details of the tight-grain spruce and the striking flame of the maple. Elegant artistic antiquing further highlights its craftsmanship, creating a visual appeal to match its exceptional tonal complexity.
