STRADIVARIUS VIOLIN EXHIBITION

by FLORIAN LEONARD

With over 40 years of experience working with the finest instruments and musicians, Florian Leonhard Fine Violins is one of the major fine violin dealerships in the world. It offers a comprehensive range of violins, violas, cellos, and their bows, all backed by world-leading in-house expertise. The company's meticulous True Copies of fine old Italian violins made in its London workshop are the choice of leading soloists, professors, and musicians internationally.

FLFV has prioritized supporting talented players, musical charities, and festivals since its inception. The rich tapestry of talented clients who make up its fellowship is what it's all about. The Florian Leonhard Fellowship was born out of this philosophy and has supported many of the most highly anticipated young musicians who are rising to be the stars of the future.

Florian has contributed significantly to the musical field through numerous articles and publications on notable luthiers like Vuillaume and Stradivari, as well as comprehensive books on Italian instrument-making, including The Makers of Central Italy, The Makers of Tuscany, and his much-anticipated volume The Archetypal Violins of Giuseppe Guarneri del Gesù.

Florian is also actively involved in the classical music community, serving on jury panels for various international violin competitions such as Kloster Schöntal, Lipinski-Wieniawski, and Tonali, in addition to judging the Sofia, Pisogne, and Nemessányi violin-making competitions.
