Born in Switzerland, Michel Eggimann made his first violins there before studying at the Cremona Violin Making School with V. Bissolotti, graduating in 1986. Even before graduation he won 4th prize at the 4th Trienalle in Cremona. In 1986 he won the Stouffer Prize for a superb Guarneri copy. He opened his workshop in Lucca, Tuscany in 1991 and then to Rome in 2007. Even before graduation from the Cremona school, he had specialized in reproductions of the great Cremonese masters with superb antiquing that very few of today’s makers can equal.
His work is in great demand, difficult to obtain and we are pleased to offer this superb Guarneri copy.
