Top quality wood selection yields a violin of elite class despite costing well under $5,000. The Pagani utilizes refined antiquing with lustrous, dark varnish and the finest northern Italian wood available. It claims an elaborate tonal spectrum and powerful projection and has received glowing reviews from many well-known players and professionals. This is an immaculate work of art both visually and tonally. The Giovanni Pagani outfit includes a silver-mounted pernambuco or carbon fiber bow and suspension oblong case with four bow holders and hygrometer.
