Violin body in the hands of the violin maker

Master Violin "Maestro"

Violin maker crafting a violin

In 2007 the Maestro Model was presented at the Frankfurt Music Fair with great success. This model emerged from the idea of creating an individual instrument following the basic measurements of Stradivari. A Stradivari model, however, that also demonstrates individual elements such as the concavity, the scroll or the F-holes. This makes our model unique. It combines high bright sweet notes with a G-string that has a wonderful dark timbre.

The top and back are very carefully crafted according to the character of the wood to create the best possible sound, to which the gluing on of a bass bar with optimised measurements and highest precision - with particular attention to its tone - greatly contributes. A special spirit varnish is applied by hand.

Janos Ecseghy himself personally finishes all of the Maestro models.

Maestro Spezial

Our instrument with the very highest level of workmanship is the Maestro Spezial.

This instrument is in design and construction an outstanding unique instrument of master craftsmanship. It has proved its great value as a solo instrument. The high level of work required in the construction of these instruments means that we can only make individual instruments specifically suiting the individual musician.

The body is made of at least 20-year-old seasoned quality tonal wood. Because of this, this violin is not deliverable from our store, but has to be individually made to order.

Because of his own beginnings, Janos Ecseghy finds it particularly important to offer musicians the chance to buy good or very good quality instruments at a moderate price. Therefore we also make the variations Maestro Superiore, Maestro Grande and Maestro Classic in a reasonably priced version.
