Archinto, Antonio Stradivari, 1696
Made in 2025 – 16 1/4″ Viola
Price: £10,000
This viola offers a warm and expressive tone, with a rich core and a clear, focused response. The lower register speaks with depth and stability, while the middle register remains particularly balanced and resonant. In the upper register, the sound retains clarity and ease, allowing for a wide range of colours and nuanced phrasing. The instrument responds quickly under the bow and maintains a strong sense of evenness throughout, providing both comfort and flexibility for the player. Its overall character combines warmth with definition, making it well suited to both solo and ensemble playing.
Medici, Antonio Stradivari, 1716
Made 2025, Violin
Price: £7,000
“Inspired by Stradivari’s celebrated Medici model, this 2025 violin by Ludivine Brouillet exemplifies the depth and refinement of contemporary French lutherie. The instrument has been oil-varnished with great care, featuring a luminous golden ground beneath a rich red-brown varnish that produces a deeply reflective surface and visual warmth.
Brouillet’s work is distinguished by both precision and expressive craftsmanship—qualities that have made her instruments increasingly valued among professional musicians. This violin reflects those hallmarks beautifully, combining bold individuality with tonal sophistication.
The two-piece back is carved from attractively flamed maple of medium curl, descending gently from the centre joint. The ribs show a subtler figure, while the scroll and pegbox are cut from plain maple. The front is made from two pieces of finely grained spruce, narrower at the centre and broadening towards the flanks. The varnish—a warm, dark red-brown laid over a golden ground—adds depth and brilliance, highlighting the graceful arching and clean edgework.
Tonally, the violin offers a compelling character: dark and resonant on the lower strings, yet clear and singing in the upper register. Its balance, responsiveness, and comfort make it equally suited to orchestral, chamber, and solo performance.
A fine example of Brouillet’s mature style, this Stradivari Medici model unites aesthetic elegance with a powerful, modern voice—an instrument certain to develop beautifully in the hands of an accomplished player.”
Viotti, Antonio Stradivari, 1704
Made in 2025, Violin
Price: £7,000
This handmade violin was individually crafted by Ludivine Brouillet using carefully selected European spruce and maple. Inspired by Stradivari’s celebrated Viotti model, it offers a warm, balanced tone with excellent projection and responsiveness for advanced students and professional musicians.
Medici, Antonio Stradivari, 1718
Made in 2023, Violin
Price: On demand
This violin was made in Newark in 2023 and is inspired by the 1716 ‘Medici’ Stradivari.
The violin has a two piece back of quarter-sawn maple with ribs to match. The scroll is more plain. The front is two pieces of straight-grained spruce and the varnish is a rich red with some shading.
The violin has a length of back of 360 mm.
This violin has a really interesting, enticing character. The tone is sweet and relatively intimate, creating a warmth that draws the listener in. The interesting and colourful tone of this violin would make it a great partner for hours of solo practice, however its steadfast reliability would also give lots of support when playing with others.
