This is a fascinating early 18th century Milanese violin by a maker from the circle of Giovanni Grancino. It’s a beautiful looking instrument with some unique points of style, and the sound is everything one might wish for from a fine Italian violin.

Certificate: WE Hill & Son, London 1942 stating “probably Santino Lavazza”
