Product Information
Labelled as ‘Bryan Maynard, Newark 1975’
This violin is an excellent example of his work and the crisp and mint making style that his work shows all through his career was already evident in this early work.
With the light, subtle, golden amber varnish over this beautifully flamed wood Bryan ensured there is enough protection for the instrument as well as all the energy the player puts into the violin, gets transferred into pure sound.
A worthy companion for a touring soloist or front desk orchestral leader. As well as gifted amateurs or aspiring professionals.
