PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
- Quality European tonewoods The Wessex Violin Company expertly select their materials. Its a key priority since the wood is the foundation for a violins acoustics. Luthiers prefer the sound quality of Balkan Maple and this is what makes up the two-piece backs of the V series of violins. Each bit of Maple is expertly selected and matured for over ten years to produce the best results. Then comes the matching. The company do not pair just any combination but make sure they work well together. The Bavarian Spruce to go with the Maple is also of high quality being graded and hand-selected. Once carved the woods are left to settle for at least twelve months so they are hardened and refined by the gradual warming of the English summer. This slow pace of work is a rare level of patience which allows the wood to reach its full potential. Honey-coloured finish The Wessex violins glow in their honey-coloured shade. This tone shines through even beneath the varnish as the 12-month ageing process allows the wood to take on this distinctive colour. Traditional techniques dating back 300 years in the English school of violin-making are the basis for the companys oil varnishing. It is built up in layers to bring out a rich colour. The varnish is a warm chestnut brown over the gold base combining to create the optimal richness. Play a violin that dazzles.
