Spinoza violin 1963
Violin By: R. Spinoza 1963. We never had the pleasure to meet Mr. Spinoza but we did have the chance to meet his wife Rose. She contacted us years ago and requested our help in finding good homes for her late husbands creations. Mr. Spinoza came to vioinmaking later in life and it consumed his passion and time. The results are quite refined and of a higher quality that one would expect to see from someone who did not start earlier in their career. This violin is modelled after Stradivari and has a beautiful crackle to the varnish. A great advancing quality violin.
