About The Violin
About The Violin
Antonio Pelizon was the first in a family of violin makers who worked on the border of what is now Slovenia in the 18th and 19th centuries. His original workmanship is unpretentious and shows great care, especially the scrolls. F-holes are rather upright and open, and the varnish is usually thin and golden-yellow in hue. Pelizon's four sons succeeded him in the trade.
The violin has a classic Italian sound, versatile and robust with character to boot. It would suit an orchestra player or soloist looking for a confident, varied and mature Italian sound.
It is finished with Pirastro Evah Pirazzi Gold strings for a confident, warm sound and rosewood fittings, with a beautiful chinrest by Alexander Accessories.
