Violin
Nicola & Giuseppe (Joseph) GAGLIANO
Year: 1723
After the dynasty was created by Alessandro Gagliano, Nicola and his brother Gennaro are the most prised members of the violin master’s family from Naples. The given instrument is a joint work by Nicola and his son Giuseppe. The violin is based on a Stradivarius model with a nice, soft, elegant sound as well as a bright and rich timbre characteristic of Italian instruments.
The violin has been certified by Vatelot–Rampal (Paris).
Investing in the instrument foundation is a socially responsible investment that promotes Estonian culture and musical life as well as provides support to outstanding young musicians. I am very honoured to be a participant in establishing the foundation and making my contribution to it.
