This violin was made in the workshop of master luthier Hagen Weise. Weise has been active since 1991 when he commenced work for the Roderisch Paesold Company in Bubenreuth, Germany. In 2004 Weise successfully completed his master violin-making examination. Since 2010 Weise has been dedicated to making fine instruments in his own workshop located in Baiersdorf, Germany. This instrument comes with a certificate & photos from the maker.
The Hagen 140 has a two piece, well-flamed maple back while the top is made from spruce. This instrument is based on a Stradivari violin model. The violin has been antiqued with a good cover of golden to dark brown varnish & has ebony fittings.
