Based as a model by Guarneri del Gesu, the workmanship is accurate and assured. The tone is magnificent – rich, bright, open, resonant and ringing, with plenty of power and projection, very even and well-balanced and full of colour throughout all registers. Advanced players will experience a terrific performance instrument at a very good price.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Stringed Instrument Company","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48605165256945,"sku":"S790","price":12000.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0601\/9589\/7585\/files\/1D9A7046.jpg?v=1787116344","url":"https:\/\/www.stringedinstrument.co.nz\/products\/ian-sweetman-violin-new-zealand-1957-15","provider":"The Stringed Instrument Company","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
