Sofia Vettori "Capello" Violin, Firenze, 2021
Patterned after a Domenico Montagnana of 1740, this example from 3rd generation Italian maker Sofia Vettori is a perfect companion for the player looking not only for a fine Italian investment, but also a crystal clear, sonorous violin able to fill a concert hall.

Born in Fiesole, Italy in 1981, Sofia Vettori began her studies at an early age with her father Paolo Vettori. She went on to receive her diploma in violin performance from the Mascagni Conservatory in Livorno. Specializing in varnish making, Sofia produces exceptionally beautiful instruments in both appearance and tone based off models from noted makers such as Santo Serafino, Domenico Montagnana, Guarneri del Gesu, and G.B. Guadagnini.
