Violin by Caroline Campbell, Fife, 2018
About Caroline Campbell
Caroline is a violin maker based in Fife who is extremely passionate about her craft. She trained in Newark-on-Trent and then returned to Fife to set up her own workshop. Her instruments are very popular with musicians for their quality of sound: Caroline is meticulous about every aspect of violin making but most especially about this feature.
We are delighted to have
three instruments by Caroline currently for sale: a second 2018 violin and also a viola.
About the violin
The violin was made in 2018 and is Caroline´s 30th violin, labelled `Alba´. It is modelled after the instruments of G.B. Guadagnini.
It has a two piece back of very pretty, subtly figured maple. The front is two pieces of medium-grained spruce. The varnish is reddish-amber in colour and the length of back is 354 mm.
How does it sound?
Really good! This is a big sounding violin with great reserves of power and depth. Like Caroline´s 2018 del Gesù model violin, this one has a silky smoothness to the tone but with a boldness to the sound that is pure Guadagnini. Caroline´s infinite patience with finding the best sound from each piece of tonewood is very evident in this instrument.
Condition
The violin is in original mint condition.
