A violin by Melvin Goldsmith, Guadagnini model, c2022

Price range: £50,000+

In 1980 Melvin Goldsmith completed his first violin at the young age of 12.

Receiving a rare and prestigious sponsorship from the English Crafts Council, his work is based on a deep love and appreciation of the style, methods and materials of the classic 17th and 18th century violin makers.

Melvin’s instruments are exact copies fully antiqued and we regard him as one of the finest living makers in the world today. He is not taking orders anymore as he has a lifetime list already! So this is the chance to get one.

Sean Bishop “Melvin is a great guy who makes great instruments. simple. This violin is based on the Ex 1785 “Wilhelmj” G.B. Guadagnini owned by Jack Liebeck. The copy uses wood from 1770 and the pegs are JB Vuillaume…3 are…one is Goldsmith! Anyway, big tone, open and pure”
