D Z Strad Violin- Custom Antique Guarneri 'Del Gesu' 1743 Cannone Violin Copy Outfit

This exquisite violin is a replication of Giuseppe Antonio Guarneri's famous Cannone, or Canon, violin which received its name from its former owner, the Italian virtuoso Niccolo Paganini.  Paganini called the instrument “my cannon violin,” in reference to the explosive power and resonant sound he was able to make it produce.  While in Paganini’s possession, the instrument was repaired by Jean Baptiste Vuillaume, who was so taken with the instrument, that he also made an exact replica.  Both instruments are now exhibited together in the main room of the Genoa town hall in Italy.  This expertly crafted violin is a point to point copy of one of the most famous violins in history.
