30,000 year old wood
Description: Soloist Class. Top and Back Plate put into a solid maple edge. Model: Own Model.
Special edition: Like the Opus 303, the Opus 307 violin from 2020 is made of an extraordinary wood. Thanks to a great stroke of luck, we came across a log of Kauri wood that is over 30,000 years old from a raised bog in New Zealand. This wood, of which we were given a few pieces, is considered a World Heritage Site.
The wood has tremendous resonance properties. It is a special responsibility and honor to make a violin out of it. The sound of this violin surpasses everything we have created so far.
We still have unique pieces of this extraordinary wood for a few other violins, violas and cellos that will be made in our workshop over the next few years.
