Based out of New York, Charles Rufino has been working with violins since 1974. His work continually sought out and renowned by professionals. This particular violin is one that was made in his workshop and finished with the spectacular varnish that he uses on his master-level works. It offers a brilliant color palette with a deep tone that shimmers and vibrates throughout the instrument. With stunning dynamic range and response, it speaks well in all registers.  It has a gorgeous look with a deep red varnish and would work well in the hands of the advancing and serious player.
