Review Videos

Full Size bench made by Martin Sheridan in 2020

Modeled after the famous instrument made by Guarneri del Gesú and played by the legendary violinist Fritz Kreisler, Sheridan's replica is a delight to play.

This violin has a very deep and sweet tone, solid projection with a clean and excellent response. The violin's moderate and playful antiquing and visible cut lines on the scroll, and custom label of a cat playing a violin (maybe it's a giant cat playing a bass?) provide a lot of individuality and personality to this instrument. 

Martin Sheridan is a gifted luthier from Fort Madison, Iowa, making violins, violas, cellos, double basses, and guitars.
