Augusta Di Leonardo violin, “Il Marchese”, 2016 – maker’s certificate

Fine contemporary Italian violin by Augusta Di Leonardo, made in 2016 and accompanied by the maker’s original certificate of authenticity. Augusta Di Leonardo trained at the Antonio Stradivari violin-making school in Cremona.

The instrument is her personal model “Il Marchese”. A particularly interesting feature is the antique scroll/head from an unidentified older violin, which was intentionally incorporated into the instrument and is explicitly documented by Augusta Di Leonardo in the certificate.

The violin is in very good condition and has a warm, rounded and rather dark tonal character, with a substantial lower and middle register and an easy, pleasant response.

Currently set up with Pirastro Evah Pirazzi strings.

Original maker’s certificate included. Detailed photographs available on request.

Private sale.
The violin can be tried by appointment in Northern Italy. Shipping within Europe can be arranged by agreement.

Certification: Original 2016 certificate of authenticity signed by Augusta Di Leonardo, identifying the violin as her personal model “Il Marchese” and documenting its antique unidentified scroll.
