The luthier shaded this instrument such that the golden ground shines through the apricot varnish to make for a beautiful shading particularly across the two-piece back. The medium curl falls from the centerjoint, with similar flames running along the ribs and scroll. The luthier named this instrument modeled on a Guarneri del Gesù “Catterina” in honor of Catterina Guarneri—the wife of Giuseppie Guarneri “del Gesù.\" Historians and violin experts believe that Catterina had a major role in the building of del Gesù instruments and unfortunately remains an unsung heroine of the violin world.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eInterior label reads: \"#27 \/ Kevin Crow \/ Madison WI 06 July 2023\"\u003cbr\u003eLength: 351 mm\u003cbr\u003eUpper Bout: 162 mm\u003cbr\u003eCenter Bout: 112 mm\u003cbr\u003eLower Bout: 203 mm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Maker\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKevin Crow \u003c\/strong\u003eis a contemporary luthier based in Madison, Wisconsin.
