Magginis are well established for use as octave instruments (restrung with octave strings, modified nut, etc.) due to their large size and powerful deep projection--they are actually larger than some small violas.
Our Maggini violin replica, a collaboration of Don Rickert Musical Instruments and Calvert Violins has all of the features sought by the top violinists and fiddlers of all styles…double-purfling, decorative inlay on the back, large size (but still standard scale length), and mind-blowing power and depth (loud and dark sound). Well made Maggini copies really pack a punch and are not for the timid. This is an instrument for those who are confident and want to be heard.
Since only about 60 of these highly sought-after instruments were ever made, the probability of getting an original is pretty slim. Even well-made copies are hard to come by, so here's your chance to get a good one converted to a powerful octave fiddle for just a little bit more than $2,000.
