Mario Bedocchi Violin

Full Size c.1949

The influence of Venetian maker Ettore Siega is visible in Mario Bedocchi's work, as Siega was his primary teacher. Bedocchi's well-regarded work usually bears a spirit-based varnish, often pale in hue, but sometimes vivid red or brown.

Bedocchi produced well over 200 instruments of all the violin family including double basses. Cremonese models using good materials and fine varnish of several shades.
