You might as well choose a tattoo design

To set off your taste and elegance

This painted violin without horns is the work of San Marco Polo of Sestolochi in Italy in 1919. The maker adjusted the shape of the violin according to the content of the painting so that the shape of the violin and the painting could be perfectly integrated.

I also saw another painted violin in this album, and the picture is similar to palace and religious themes.

These painted violins are mostly used for decoration rather than for actual playing, so these violins are perfectly preserved. Most of these violins are customized for churches, palaces, and wealthy families, and are used for embellishment and decoration. It is impossible to know specifically what the real timbre is. However, after centuries of preservation, the wood as the sound-producing structure has been completely dry, and the violin's resonance box maintains the structure of the traditional violin's resonance box. So there shouldn't be much of a problem in terms of sound.

The key problem is that these pianos cannot be played frequently, because if they are played frequently, they will inevitably cause bumps and wear. We can see that violins from hundreds of years ago generally have many signs of wear and bumps on the neck and upper right side of the body and the lower left side. The purpose of an ordinary violin is to play. As long as the sound is good, a little wear and bumps are harmless. On the contrary, it gives people a sense of history with profound heritage.

So these painted violins were collections of nobles. Its value lies in collection and display, not in performance. In modern times, these painted violins have become increasingly rare. This also represents the aesthetic taste of upper-class people in music and art in that era. Nowadays, people's aesthetic tastes have changed greatly, so these painted violins have become orphans and valuable collections.

Who would collect such a piano?

The first choice is that musicians and violinists should have a few of these violins in their collection. This is a tribute to the master violin makers who came before us. Because of these senior violin makers, a violinist has achieved brilliance.

Secondly, collectors of classical art should also collect such pianos. Keeping a violin in a splendid classical style in one's own museums and collections is a sign of high-grade collecting.
