A violin rooted in tradition yet built for today’s advancing player, the Maple Leaf Strings Haddock 1734 Model Bench Copy captures the spirit of Guarneri del Gesù’s early craftsmanship — available now at Haggerty’s Music. Drawing inspiration from the 1734 “Haddock,” this instrument reflects a period where classical Cremonese precision met the broader influence of Brescian design, resulting in a violin that emphasizes warmth, depth, and expressive character.

Carefully constructed with a fully hand-carved Grade AAA seasoned European spruce top and beautifully figured European maple back, this violin has been aged for over five years to ensure tonal maturity and stability. The professional Guarneri graduation pattern enhances its responsiveness, producing a rich, rounded tone with excellent projection and clarity. Its master-level, hand-applied oil varnish completes the instrument with an authentic antique aesthetic while contributing to its open, resonant voice.

Professionally adjusted to meet high performance standards, the Haddock Bench Copy is outfitted with premium components that support both reliability and tonal refinement. Thomastik Dominant strings, an Aubert 7 bridge, and deluxe ebony fittings provide a balanced, articulate response across all registers. Ideal for serious students and advancing performers, this violin offers a compelling blend of historical inspiration, craftsmanship, and musical potential.
