Amadea is a bespoke violin built from aged tonewood, disciplined structure, and deliberate material contrast. Its top plate is cut from spruce harvested in 1967, with the same tree providing the bass bar, lining, and soundpost. Around that older acoustic core, seasoned maple forms the ribs, neck, and bridge, while the bloodwood back gives the instrument its visual weight and tonal authority. Koa and zircote inlays provide measured contrast, and the secondary materials are chosen with the same attention to structure, balance, and permanence.
Amadea is based on the Stradivari Titian body, and voiced as a chamber violin with a deep warm tone.
Amadea is currently reserved.
Rachelle R. - “This violin is a pleasure to play, with a rich and warm sound. The attention to detail is clear in the craftsmanship and in its comfortable feeling.”
Amadea in first light — restrained in outline, deliberate in contrast, and built to read as a singular work.
The 1967 spruce table holds the light with clarity, while the darker fittings establish the instrument’s visual structure.
At the scroll and upper neck, the workmanship becomes intimate — clean carving, settled lines, and durable fittings shaped for long use.
From the rear, the neck and scroll show the quieter discipline of the build: controlled shaping, tactile balance, and understated finish.
The upper table reveals the composure of the front, open spruce, restrained edgework, and dark lines held in careful proportion.
At the lower front, bridge, tailpiece, and chinrest bring the acoustic center into view, where function and material richness meet.
The upper back shows the bloodwood in closer detail, with the inlay used not as ornament alone, but as part of the instrument’s visual order.
The bloodwood back gives Amadea its counterweight: dense, warm, and unmistakably assertive in character.
Amadea was built from decades-seasoned wood and assembled with the discipline fine bespoke work requires: not only beauty, but continuity, stability, and tonal purpose. It is an instrument shaped to remain expressive, serviceable, and visually distinct for generations.
