Fleur de Lys Violin, Baltic Amber.

 

Violin built based on the Stradivarius model, following the highest demands in acoustic and aesthetic criteria. The soundboard is crafted from Spruce (Abies alba) sourced from the Fiemme Valley, a region historically renowned for the quality of its resonant woods, used since the time of Stradivari for their lightness, elasticity, and capacity to transmit sound with harmonic richness. The back, ribs, and neck are carved from Carpathian Maple, selected for its flamed grain and structural stability, ensuring a balanced sound response and a refined aesthetic.

The varnish applied is oil-based with Baltic Amber, a natural fossil resin that provides not only protection but also a warm and deep tonality. Its color falls within the honey gold range with coppery reflections, which vary subtly depending on the light, evoking the character of classically aged Italian instruments.

 

The decoration of the violin is one of its most distinctive features. Inspired by botanical motifs, it consists of a series of hand-painted ornaments in black and gold, distributed with symmetry and balance on the pegbox, the body edges, and the neck heel. The central design revolves around the Fleur-de-Lys, a symbol of elegance, nobility, and the Holy Trinity in Europe, represented in a stylized form with elongated, curved petals that intertwine with vegetal volutes. These forms recall the ornamental engravings of the late Baroque, with fluid lines, spiral curves, and dotted details that provide visual texture. The arrangement of the decorative elements respects the architecture of the instrument, framing without invading, and reinforcing the sense of unity between form and function.

 

The bridge incorporates a titanium wedge on the E string (Stradpet), replacing the traditional parchment. This innovation improves the transmission of vibrations, provides greater durability and precision in response, and represents a commitment to technical evolution without losing respect for tradition. The tailpiece is equipped with a titanium fine-tuner (Stradpet) with very lightweight mass and smooth tuning precision.

 

As a courtesy included in the price, the instrument is delivered with a natural silk bag (designed to protect the varnish during storage), and a BAM case, recognized for its lightness, resistance, and ergonomic design.

 

This violin is conceived for performers who seek their own voice: rich in nuances, with clear projection, immediate response to the bow stroke, and an aesthetic that reflects the balance between art and technique.

Miguel Mateo Violin. Baltic Amber Varnish, Aged.

 

 

 

Here is a violin born from my hands after countless hours of dedication. It's an instrument fresh from the workshop, yet its resonance evokes the wisdom of the great masters. More than just a simple violin, it's a declaration of intent, a true companion for the musician who seeks limitless self-expression. This violin is modeled after Guarneri 'Del Gesù'.

 

The Val di Fiemme spruce top is the heart of its sound. Its incredibly fine, tight, and straight grains attest to the exceptional quality of the wood, promising projection and sonic clarity that will surprise you. For the back and sides, I selected Carpathian maple with a fine, uniform, and intensely dark flame, which is not only a visual delight but also contributes to the instrument's harmonic richness and power.

 

I opted for a deep brown oil varnish that highlights the natural beauty of each grain. But what truly makes it unique is the treatment of the back. I applied a meticulous technique to simulate natural and authentic wear, as if time had left its mark. This gives it a historic patina, the air of a classic instrument that has been cherished and played for decades. To top it all off, a layer of Baltic amber varnish imparts a warm luster and durable protection, sealing its charm and ensuring its legacy.

 

This violin is the perfect fusion of modern craftsmanship and the spirit of ancient instruments. Its impeccable construction guarantees an agile response and exceptional comfort, allowing you to explore every nuance of your music. It's an invitation to connect with your art in a profound way, to feel the resonance of great lutherie traditions in your own hands.
