Stradivari Model Violin Mrs. Kruse / available

Inspired by Antonio Stradivari's 1721 violins, this luthier-crafted violin, made in 2025, pays homage to one of Stradivari's most refined and balanced models. Made from select maple and spruce, it combines structural precision and acoustic sensitivity, offering even resonance, agile response under the bow, and a comfortable feel for the player.

The original Dolly Kruse model is very well known today. Built in Cremona in 1721, it belongs to the master's mature period and is celebrated for its balanced sound and elegance. Its name comes from Mrs. Dorothy Mary Murray (Mrs. Kruse), an English violinist who owned the instrument in the 19th century, after it had previously belonged to Niccolò Paganini, who gifted it to his only pupil, Camillo Sivori. It is currently housed at the Royal Academy of Music in London, where it continues to be admired for the nobility and depth of its sound, a direct inspiration for this meticulous lutherie recreation.

The honey-red varnish, expertly applied and subtly aged, highlights the natural beauty of the wood grain and lends the instrument a sober and elegant character. Its sound is warm, direct, and well-focused, with a timbre balanced between brightness and depth, capable of projecting clearly and flexibly in both intimate settings and concert halls.

Thanks to its comfort, stability, and excellent value, this model is ideal for advanced students or performers seeking a violin with a classic soul, a refined sound, and a distinguished presence. Every detail, from the choice of woods to the final finish, reflects the care and dedication of the finest contemporary craftsmanship.
