Jay Haide L’ancienne Guadagnini Violin - 4/4
The Jay Haide L’ancienne Violin is hand-made of quality seasoned maple and spruce. These violins embody the tonal qualities and workmanship normally found in instruments only at a professional level.
The L’ancienne model is hand varnished and finished with an antiqued patina that compliments its depth of tone. Jay Haide violins are often mistaken for much older instruments as their tone is consistent with the richness of vintage violins. In addition, their appearance, with detailed patterning is reminiscent of the aged wear of fine old European instruments.
All Jay Haide instruments enter the Bows for Strings workshop as a blank canvas, and are treated to the full Bows for Strings advanced professional set-up to achieve the best sound and playability for the instrument.
This process includes adjustment to the fingerboard and nut. fitting Bows for Strings selected pegs, a French Despiau bridge of highest quality (2 tree) hand cut in our workshop, and a soundpost made of well-seasoned spruce by Pahler of Germany.
Violin set-up is completed with a German Wittner tailpiece, German Wittner side-mount chin rest, and your choice of Pirastro Obligato or Evah Pirazzi strings.
Professionally set-up by our team of luthiers. Find out more about our professional advanced set-up here.
