Review Videos

"Say hello to my little friend:" this new violin, made by Romanian maker, Valeriu Badea named "The Scarface." The violin is hand made from the finest European tonewoods, aged and seasoned. The gorgeous one-piece piece maple back features a beautiful and pronounced tiger striping descending from right to left. The violin is a dark orange/brown, with yellow hints under strong lights.

The tone of the instrument has wonderful golden resonance, pure and warm overtones, with a smooth and graceful personality. With it tasteful, yet pronouced antiquing, and it's current proximity to Miami FL, Valeriu appropriately calls this one "The Scarface"
