About The Violin
About The Violin
A violin by Ernesto Pevere, Ferrara c.1928, very typical of the maker. Confidently made with classic modern Italian features. A strong arch and pronounced outline, precise inlay with a beautiful transparent brown/red varnish over a dark golden brown ground. Very interestingly flamed maple as seen on his other instruments, Pevere was a maker with a natural gift for style and aesthetics.
Tonally the violin is impressive, certainly not shy and one to be heard in a concert hall. Direct, fresh and woody with a beautiful old character. It would suit a player looking to be heard and stand out. It has been set up with Thomastik Rondo strings for a strong, direct tone.
About The Maker:
“Ernesto Pevere was an Italian violin maker born in 1891. He lived and worked in the city of Ferrara his entire life. Pevere first studied violin making with esteemed maker Ettore Soffritti.
Pevere was a prolific maker heavily inspired by traditional Cremonese models. Despite living away from a major city, his fine craftsmanship caught the eye of buyers throughout Italy and eventually throughout the world.”
