The “Tuscan” by Antonio Stradivari is one of the four instruments and the only violin remaining from the “Medici Quintet”, which Stradivari made in 1690 for the Grand Prince of Tuscany. Currently housed at the Museo degli strumenti musicali dell’Accademia di Santa Cecilia, Rome, the violin is one of the rare Stradivari’s instruments in pristine state of preservation, still fully covered with its original varnish and is an ideal subject for studying the Cremonese Master’s methods and style.

Review by

This book excels in every way. It is beautifully designed and intelligently structured. It fulfils its purpose of describing and analysing the essence of the Tuscan violin with remarkable precision and completeness. The scientific analyses are profound and very up to date. The verbal descriptions and supporting documentation is interesting and meaningful.
