23Number 7745. Here is another of Vuillaume's works that is outstanding among the fine instruments which bear his name. The model is that of Joseph Guarnerius del Jesu and is built upon the lines of that famous Guarnerius which served as the solo instrument of Nicolo Paganini. The back is of one piece of handsomely flamed maple with sides to match. The top is of spruce of wide grain and the instrument is covered with a choice red brown varnish effectively shaded.
