Just in from great Bulgarian maker, Andrian Andreev. Andreev finished the Stradivari School in Cremona, Italy, studying under Wanna Zambelli. He also studied with one of my favorite makers, Massimo Negroni. This fantastic violin is a Guarneri model from 1744. Now available through Fiddles and Sticks
