Cremona Maestro “Special Edition” Violin
Modern recreations of rare masterpieces!
Fine instruments in every respect, all Special Edition Maestro
violins feature the very best and rarest woods, and are superbly
handcrafted by extraordinarily skilled luthiers whose goal is to
produce a “perfect” instrument every time.
At the top of Cremona’s Maestro Series is a re-creation of the
legendary “Hellier” Strad. The “Hellier” is the most famous of
Antonio Stradivari’s inlaid violins. Originally purchased by Sir
Samuel Hellier in the early 18th century directly from the
Master, the instrument eventually passed to Mr. H.E. Morriss, a
Shanghai newspaper publisher. Fortunately, Mr. Morriss took
the Hellier with him to England before World War II; after World
War II, Morriss saw all of his Shanghai possessions confiscated
by the revolutionary functionaries of Mao Zedong and put on
display as “plunder”. The original “Hellier” is presently in the
Smithsonian in Washington, D.C.
Limited availability: The supply of these extremely rare, very
old woods and inlay materials is extremely limited and
irreplaceable.
