A violin based on a masterpiece

Every Scala Vilagio violin is a replica of a legendary instrument, made by equally legendary luthiers: The "Viotti" is one of the most famous creations of perhaps the most famous violin maker of all time, Antonio Stradivari. Built in 1709, when Stradivari was at the height of his powers, it now carries the name of the virtuoso Giovanni Battista Viotti, who was given this unique instrument on loan by the Russian empress Catherine the Great. This exact replica has been composed with a painstaking combination of historical accuracy and modern techniques, without changing the instrument's identity. It was built, like all Scala Vilagio products, entirely by hand in a European workshop, using nothing but the highest-quality components. Scala Vilagio instruments fulfil the absolutely highest standards in terms of quality, durability, playability, and – most importantly – sound.

Scala Vilagio R.O. Stradivari Viotti 1709, replica of a historical violin

The perfect recipe...

Every Scala Vilagio R.O. Stradivari Viotti is a unique one-off, made by hand by the master violinmaker Ryszard Osowski in Franconia. He uses nothing but well-seasoned and carefully selected tonewoods, including slow-growth spruce for the hand-carved soundboard and richly quilted maple for the body. The original Viotti was based on Stradivari's Forma G, his longest and most widely used rib mould. Here, each part, from the top and back to the scroll, has been carved by hand to exactly mimic this model. The oil lacquer, also handmade by Osowski, contains Baltic amber and gives this masterpiece its rich reddish brown colour. The result of these exquisite ingredients and beautiful craftsmanship is a deep, powerful sound with an extraordinary resonance.

A violin like the Scala Vilagio Stradivari Viotti will meet even the very highest standards in every imaginable way. Of course, this makes it an ideal tool for professional musicians, with – played with a bow or pizzicato – the hand-wound Thomastik strings ensuring a sound and playfeel that will shine in any situation. The Viotti will also appeal to dedicated amateur musicians seeking an instrument of genuine individuality and distinction. Either way, this instrument will accompany a violinist their entire lives, making it a worthwhile long-term investment. This should also make it interesting for collectors who want to own a masterful interpretation of the work of the most celebrated violin maker to ever live.

About Scala Vilagio

Scala Vilagio is a Thomann-exclusive brand that offers-high quality bowed string instruments, as well as professional accessories. The products are made exclusively from sustainably grown European woods that have been naturally dried over a long period of time. The instruments are precisely built by master violin makers according to the same traditional methods as their most legendary forebears: Besides Stradivarius and Guarneri del Gesù, the range also includes instruments by other grandmasters such as Nicolò Amati and Giovanni Paolo Maggini. Each one has a unique tonal palette, giving modern players a chance to own a piece of musical history. Scala Vilagio's extensive range originates with numerous expert craftspeople, based in Franconia, the Carpathians, and Czechia (among other places), and who build each instrument by hand in the tradition of the old masters.

Artisanal accessories

A violin of this quality, made by hand from such choice ingredients, should only be played with the finest accessories. Any stringed instrument is incomplete without the right bow: Anyone who's ever experimented with different bows on the same violin knows what a difference they can make to the overall sound. Thomann (and Scala Vilagio) offers bows made from select materials like pernambuco, ebony, or high-grade synthetics – of course, any bow is incomplete without the right rosin. And even when it's not being played, a sensitive instrument like the Scala Vilagio Stradivari Viotti needs to be kept safe and sound: Again, Thomann's portfolio has a wide range of robust cases for worry-free transport, as well as number of stands or options for hanging an eyecatching instrument like this on a wall.
