BRISBANE, CA—Palatino introduces a new solid hand-carved violin with a hand-rubbed French polish finish and world class craftsmanship by Master Wei Jing Zhong Studios.

 

Every piece of the Palatino Mancini Violin (VN-1400) is crafted meticulously by hand for the same great care and attention put into 17th century violins. The Mancini has a Stradivarius style body and a deep, mature sound that makes it a perfect “step-up” violin for intermediate players.

 

This violin features a solid hand-carved European spruce top, flamed aged maple back and sides, hill-style ebony fittings, Aubert bridge, hand-rubbed French polish finish and handmade Pirastro Evah Pirazzi strings from Germany.

 

This model is produced by a small team of builders at Master Wei Jing Zhong Studios, which is quickly gaining prominence as a leading workshop for superior replica violins.

 

The Mancini violin is available in 4/4 size and has a list price of $799.99. This model is fully adjusted in the U.S. Palatino is the maker of violin family instruments, wind instruments and pianos.
