Il Cremonese
A Tribute to History and Innovation
The result of both scientific research and deep passion, Il Cremonese pays tribute to Antonio Stradivari’s classic violin.
STRADIVARI’S MASTERPIECE
Il Cremonese is an homage to Italian luthier Antonio Stradivari’s greatest creation. Celebrated for his relentless pursuit of acoustic perfection in string instruments, Stradivari’s 1715 masterpiece, named “Il Cremonese”, remains unmatched. This exceptional instrument stands out for its rich and balanced sound, characterized by a powerful Sol chord and remarkable agility - a testament to Stradivari's enduring legacy in the world of music.
HISTORY, REMADE
Il Cremonese’s form brings together technological innovation and unique design, while paying homage to a centuries-long tradition of Italian violin-making. Its cabinet features fine non-parallel walls with Avional surface treatments, an alloy commonly used in aircraft and aerospace industries. The rhomboidal diamond design optimizes the structural solidity of the wood cabinet while creating clean and elegant lines.
ACOUSTIC PERFECTION
Each transducer’s acoustic environment is meticulously designed to deliver flawless sound. Every volume is insulated with individually-selected materials - from open cell thermoplastic foam to fibrous materials similar to those used in pianos - to optimize the performance of each application.
