Overview

STRADIVARI’S MASTERPIECE

Il Cremonese is an homage to Italian luthier Antonio Stradivari’s greatest creation. Celebrated for his relentless pursuit of acoustic perfection in string instruments, Stradivari’s 1715 masterpiece, named “Il Cremonese”, remains unmatched. This exceptional instrument stands out for its rich and balanced sound, characterized by a powerful Sol chord and remarkable agility - a testament to Stradivari's enduring legacy in the world of music.

HISTORY, REMADE

Il Cremonese’s form brings together technological innovation and unique design, while paying homage to a centuries-long tradition of Italian violin-making. Its cabinet features fine non-parallel walls with Avional surface treatments, an alloy commonly used in aircraft and aerospace industries. The rhomboidal diamond design optimizes the structural solidity of the wood cabinet while creating clean and elegant lines.
