McLaughlin Violin 2018, our 2nd violin patterned after the ‘Brookings’ Amati, has been one of the most iconic instruments from the shop. Endorsed and beloved by many of our top-tier musician clients, it has already seen several premiere orchestra halls in the U.S. Its powerful projection with bright and clear treble and effortless response make it an ideal instrument for those who aim for more stage presence as a soloist or a section leader. A chamber musician who is actively looking to re-balance the ensemble to a brighter and clearer tonal profile will hugely benefit from this fine violin as well. The violin’s back is of quarter-sawn maple, different from its two slab-cut siblings.
