Review Videos
We are pleased to feature this fine violin made by Valeriu Badea in 2025. Inspired by the work of Guarneri del Gesù, the "Duskfire" features exceptional European tonewoods which are aged and seasoned. The varnish is a vibrant and rich blend of golden orange and brown; with a glow that can only be described as Duskfire.
The violin has a powerful and deep sound that is nicely balanced, with a singing clarity in every register.
"Upon the strings where shadows burn,
A tempest sings, fierce and unchained.
Its voice ignites, the stars will turn
As dusk and fire rise, untamed."
