A violin based on a masterpiece
Every Scala Vilagio violin is a replica of a legendary instrument, made by equally legendary luthiers: The Lord Wilton violin was built in 1742 by the Italian master Bartolomeo Giuseppe Guarneri, also known als del Gesù. The violin itself came to its historical name through one of its early illustrious owners, Seymour Egerton, the 4th Earl of Wilton. This perhaps most celebrated of all del Gesù's instruments achieved even greater fame when it was used by the renowned virtuoso Yehudi Menuhin, who played it between 1978 and 1999 for countless concerts and recordings. This exact replica has been composed with a wonderful combination of historical accuracy and modern techniques, without changing the instrument's identity. It was built, like all Scala Vilagio products, entirely by hand in a European workshop, using nothing but the highest-quality components. Scala Vilagio instruments fulfil the absolutely highest standards in terms of quality, durability, playability, and – most importantly – sound.
The perfect recipe...
Every Scala Vilagio Guarneri Lord Wilton is a unique one-off, made by hand by the master violinmaker Ryszard Osowski in Franconia. He uses nothing but well-seasoned and carefully selected tonewoods, including slow-growth spruce for the hand-carved soundboard and richly quilted maple for the body. Both the top and the single-piece back are painstaking copies of the original, with details like the rib mould and hand-carved scroll also echoing the Cremonese tradition. The oil lacquer, also handmade by Osowski, contains Baltic amber and gives this masterpiece its rich reddish brown colour. The result of these exquisite ingredients and beautiful craftsmanship is a deep, powerful sound with an extraordinary resonance.
...for the best results
A violin like the Scala Vilagio Guarneri Lord Wilton will meet even the very highest standards in every imaginable way. Of course, this makes it an ideal tool for professional musicians, with – played with a bow or pizzicato – the hand-wound Thomastik strings ensuring a sound and playfeel that will shine in any situation. The Lord Wilton is also bound to appeal to dedicated amateur musicians seeking an instrument of genuine individuality and distinction. Either way, this instrument will accompany a violinist their entire lives, making it a worthwhile long-term investment. This should also make it interesting for collectors who want to own a masterful interpretation of the work of the most celebrated violin maker to ever live.
About Scala Vilagio
Scala Vilagio is a Thomann-exclusive brand that offers-high quality bowed string instruments, as well as professional accessories. The products are made exclusively from sustainably grown European woods that have been naturally dried over a long period of time. The instruments are precisely built by master violin makers according to the same traditional methods as their most legendary forebears: Besides Stradivarius and Guarneri del Gesù, the range also includes instruments by other grandmasters such as Nicolò Amati and Giovanni Paolo Maggini. Each one has a unique tonal palette, giving modern players a chance to own a piece of musical history. Scala Vilagio's extensive range originates with numerous expert craftspeople, based in Franconia, the Carpathians, and Czechia (among other places), and who build each instrument by hand in the tradition of the old masters.
Artisanal accessories
A violin of this quality, made by hand from such choice ingredients, should only be played with the finest accessories. Any stringed instrument is incomplete without the right bow: Anyone who's ever experimented with different bows on the same violin knows what a difference they can make to the overall sound. Thomann (and Scala Vilagio) offers bows made from select materials like pernambuco, ebony, or high-grade synthetics – of course, any bow is incomplete without the right rosin. And even when it's not being played, a sensitive instrument like the Scala Vilagio Guarneri Lord Wilton needs to be kept safe and sound: Again, Thomann's portfolio has a wide range of robust cases for worry-free transport, as well as number of stands or options for hanging an eyecatching instrument like this on a wall.
