This violin, modeled after a classic Stradivari design, has a pleasing appearance because of its balanced proportions and fine antique finish; But what truly sets the Le Page "S" model violin apart is its superb tone and its responsiveness: the sound seems to leap from the instrument as soon as the bow touches the strings. Performers comment that this model is easy to play and has good projection, creating a big sound suitable for even the biggest concert hall.
