The Canzona A. Tennyson violin represents the next level in the Canzona lineup, crafted for advancing players seeking greater tonal complexity, projection, and visual refinement. Built from carefully selected, highly figured AAA-grade seasoned spruce and maple that have been naturally dried for 4–5 years, the A. Tennyson delivers a vibrant, balanced voice with clarity, warmth, and strong projection. A professionally hand-applied spirit and oil-mixed varnish with light antiquing and defined edge shading enhances both the resonance and the visual character of the instrument, highlighting the striking flame of the curly maple back and ribs while giving the violin the appearance of a well-matured workshop instrument.
The instrument is fitted with Parisian-eye ebony pegs and tailpiece for a classic look and stable tuning, along with a Wittner composite tailpiece featuring a single fine tuner for smooth, accurate adjustments without excess weight. An Aubert No. 7 bridge supports a full, resonant tone, while an ebony Guarneri-style chinrest minimizes surface contact to allow the instrument to vibrate freely. The A. Tennyson is professionally strung with Thomastik Dominant strings, offering a warm, clear response with rich overtones and excellent playability across all registers. Fully hand-carved and built on an advanced graduation pattern, the Canzona A. Tennyson is an ideal choice for serious students and dedicated players ready for a more responsive, expressive instrument within the upper tier of the Canzona collection.
