A true English classic now so rarely available. This is one of the copy models after Maggini with double purfilling and Brecian style sound holes. A wonderful straight medium grain on the table seems to stand out and exude strength.

A flattish table arch means plenty of power in the sound as does the incredible depth of the ribs at 24cm (just under 9.5 inches including the plates). The varnish of a rich orange-brown colour over a yellow ground. This instrument is sheer poetry to look at and a sheer delight to play. A real gem.

Please refer to the Strad Feb 97 article on Fendt by Thomas Martin and Martin Lawrence for pictures of an identical instrument.
