This reproduction is based on a Maggini in a private collection in Genova.
The original is in modern mounting, and my proposal of mounting is based on few instruments not modified, and on the iconographical evidence.
The ideal of sound of Brecia is rather different than the Cremonese; here you have an enchanting description:

"The character of Maggini-tone combines great fullness and perfect mellowness, tending rather to plaintivenes - this last being more commonly termed 'the alto voice or tenor violin quality'"
Body length 36,5.
