Pierre Marcel Violin Model VI- Del Gesu 1742

Maker: Pierre Marcel

Story: The Pierre Marcel line represents a commitment to traditional European violin-making with modern refinements. Each instrument is modeled after classic Italian masters, including Guadagnini, Stradivari, and del Gesù. The makers focus not only on sound quality, but on creating instruments that feel expressive and responsive under the player's hand. With a transparent, lightly antiqued varnish and clean craftsmanship, every Pierre Marcel violin is designed to inspire confidence and artistry. These instruments are widely respected by players and dealers around the world for their consistent quality and musical personality.

Tone and Character: Like traditional del Gesù templates, this violin delivers a powerful and rich tone. It provides a broad and colorful tonal palette that responds to every nuance of the player’s technique. The sound is complex and flexible—capable of producing an intimate, subtle whisper when asked, yet offering brilliant projection and strength when demanded. The violin with its brilliance can soar above an orchestra, yet can blend seamlessly in both chamber ensembles and orchestral settings alike. This violin adapts beautifully to the needs of the performer, making it a compelling choice for advanced musicians seeking range, expressiveness, and tonal depth.

Overview: Finished in a transparent, antiqued varnish over beautifully flamed maple, the Model VI features the signature del Gesù-inspired outline with bold arching and a slightly rugged aesthetic. The instrument is set up by professional luthiers for optimal response, clarity, and balance—an excellent choice for advanced students, conservatory players, and professionals alike.

Condition: This violin is in mint condition.
