The art of traditional violin-making

Scala Vilagio Guarneri Lumiere Violin, built by Ryszard Osowski

Giuseppe Guarneri stands as one of the most renowned and influential Italian violin makers of all time. His violins are currently among the world's most respected and sought-after string instruments, with Guarneri's creations commanding prices in the millions. However, musicians don't need to dig too deep into their pockets in order to get their hands on a melodious violin inspired by Guarneri: The Scala Vilagio R.O. Guarneri Lumiere Violin, handcrafted by Ryszard Osowski, a Polish violin maker based in Upper Franconia, remarkably captures the essential look and sound of a Guarneri instrument.

Tonewoods for true character

It should not be assumed that this lovingly crafted instrument is only pleasing to the eye, however: The tonewoods, aged for a minimum of 30 years, produce a warm and powerful tone while also giving the instrument its appealing “flamed” wood grain pattern. Crafted from carefully selected spruce, the violin’s top complements the rest of the body, which in keeping with tradition is made from figured maple. The instrument also features ebony fittings, an ebony fingerboard, and Pirastro Evah Pirazzi strings, and the body, built following Giuseppe Guarneri’s model with a subtle arching of the top and back, is precision-crafted to achieve the sound that is expected of an authentic Guarneri violin. The varnish also significantly influences a violin's sound, so to get the very best tonal properties from the wood, the Scala Vilagio R.O. Guarneri Lumiere Violin is hand-finished with a natural resin-based varnish manufactured in-house.

About Scala Vilagio

Scala Vilagio is a brand that is exclusive to Thomann and offers-high quality bowed string instruments as well as fully professional accessories. The products are made exclusively from sustainably grown European woods that have been naturally dried over a long period of time. The instruments are precisely built by master violin makers according to the same traditional methods as their most legendary forebears: Besides Stradivarius and Guarneri del Gesu, the range also includes instruments by other grandmasters such as Nicolo Amati and Giovanni Paolo Maggini, and each one brings its own tonal palette and lets you get your hands on a piece of instrument making history. The extensive nature of Scala Vilagio’s range is thanks to the large number of instrument makers involved, who are based in Upper Franconia, Middle Franconia, the Carpathians, and the Czech Republic (among other places) and who build the Scala Vilagio instruments in the tradition of the old masters.

Authentic replica with the sound to match

With its full and warm-sounding character, the Scala Vilagio R.O. Guarneri Lumiere Violin is suitable not only for orchestra performances and studio recordings but also for solo outings, especially in Classical pieces. However, it is versatile enough for other genres too, including Jazz or street music, projecting a strong sound that excellently conveys the player's emotions thanks to its meticulous craftsmanship. The sonorous bass frequencies are complemented by a powerful midrange and a full, crystal-clear sound in the treble register, and the violin is light and comfortable in hand, providing a very immediate response. Scala Vilagio also offers matching bows in various designs that are suitable for every playing style.
