Son of Alessandro Gagliano and brother of Gennaro, Nicola Gagliano is considered one of the best makers of the family. Rather than slavishly following the example of his father, Nicola turned to Stradivari and sometimes to Amati for inspiration. This violin, which is built on a very characterful and generous model, has a rich and brilliant tone. Its 3-dimensional sound is certainly suitable for any musician looking for a strong and colourful sound.
