⭐️Featured Instrument! 🇫🇷 An exquisite violin by Jean-Baptiste Vuillaume！ 📜 J.B. Vuillaume was the most influential figure in the violin world of the 19th century. He moved to Paris in 1818 and trained with François Chanot and Lété before establishing his own business in 1827. ⭐️ Vuillaume was a renowned copyist, particularly of Stradivari and Guarneri. His love of old instruments had a strong influence on his work. In 1838 he met Paganini, and subsequently made a number of copies of the ’Cannon‘ Guarneri del Gesu. Although Vuillaume boasted of his skills as a copyist, and allegedly tried to palm Paganini off with a copy of the ’Cannon, his instruments are not easily confused with the originals. In a career spanning over half a century, he and his workshop produced more than 3,000 instruments, and the fact that they exist in such great numbers makes them relatively easy to identify. In addition, the vast majority of them are labelled, branded, numbered and signed as Vuillaume‘s work.

WORKSHOP SECRETS Cannone’s wax seal with Genoa’s coat of arms has been part of Paganini’s violin history, replicating it was INDISPENSABLE. 🌟For us, it was like a coronation ritual for ‘’Il Cannone’’ since it was the last step to finish it; stamped after being completely done. Here Luiz is carefully shaping and antiquing the seal to match the original in every detail. The wax seal does not appear in early descriptions of the instrument. It was initially fixed on the back of the violin by one of the Genoese notaries involved in the execution of Paganini’s will. Later on, it was removed from the back and reattached to the scroll. 🎻 Would you trust your hands enough to do this?

Hei! A new voice has just been born in my workshop… 🎻✨ This violin is not just an instrument, it’s a story shaped by time, patience, and devotion. A meticulous copy that demanded countless hours of focused work, where every curve, every layer of varnish, and every detail was crafted with intention. The result? A sound that speaks directly to the soul, incredibly rich, deep, and immediate. A true soloist’s character: powerful yet warm, carrying a spectrum of colors as vibrant as its varnish. It doesn’t just project; it sings, it breathes, it tells its own story. I must admit… I am deeply satisfied with this creation. If you feel curious, if you want to experience this voice in your hands, don’t hesitate to reach out. Opportunities like this don’t last long, my violins rarely stay in the atelier for very long. Come and try it. Let it speak to you. 🎶 #violin #luthier #handmadeviolin #violinmaker #fineinstruments
