and bears the maker\'s original label.This is a very attractive and entirely original modern Italian violin with no evidence of damage or repairs.

This violin is ready for immediate play.The workshop of Puglisi Reale was established by Giuseppe Reale Puglisi in 1880 in Catania, Sicily. It was run by his son Michaelangelo after 1906 until his death in 1951. Salvatore and Guissepe Puglisi, the grandsons of the founder, assumed operations of the firm after their father, Michaelangelo\'s death. The workshop was very prolific and the violins by grandfather, father and grandsons are distinctive, quite similar and rather easy for the person familiar with the family\'s work to accurately identify. The best terms to describe the sound of this instrument are clear, clean and pure. The bell-like clarity of the tone and its pure, clean sound is quite remarkable and rarely found. I don\'t know if this tone is the elusive \"Italian\" sound, but I do know that it is extraordinary and quite refreshing compared to some muddy, hollow and fuzzy sounding instruments that carry crazy price tags. This is a profoundly balanced tone; neither really dark, nor stridently bright but a pleasing and smooth blend of colors. The violin has exceptional range, producing a warm, singing tone with the lightest of bow pressure, and a forceful, crystal clear, clean and focused sound when played more aggressively. The violin projects very well, while remaining sweet and resonant under the ear. The sweetness and purity of the sound, combined with ringing overtones and delightful harmonics, provide compelling evidence of the quality of this violin and its value to the advanced professional.
The flexibility, range, power and volume make this violin an ideal tool for the serious performer.
