An interpretation
“The Sleeping Beauty” by Domenico Montagnana,
Venice, 1739 CI018

4/4 Only

Known as the “Mighty Venetian”, Montagnana represents the very best of the Venetian school. Famed for his cellos in particular, he used a particularly broad pattern, with long elegant corners and very up right f-holes producing a wonderfully powerful and full tone.

Two piece back in selected highly figured maple with matching ribs and scroll; table in two pieces of selected spruce of narrow grain

Hand applied varnish with an antiqued aspect

Fitted French Despiau bridge and fitted high quality sound post

Length of back: 749mm (29 1/2”)
