This violin made personally by Charles W. Liu is modeled after Stradivari. It possesses a clear, sweet sound with excellent balance. Charles Liu began his career at the age of 16 at the Beijing Technical School of Instrument Making. He earned his degree of Luthier from the Violin Making School of America in 1997 and worked for several years restoring instruments at Peter Paul Prier & Sons Violins. In 2002, he opened his first violin shop in Salt Lake City, UT and in 2012, he opened his Los Angeles, CA location. Charles W. Liu Fine Violins has an international professional clientele. Charles Liu is also the founder of the Stradivarius International Violin Competition.
This example is one of Charles' earlier instruments, made before his studies with Peter Prier (and is offered at a lower price than his later instruments). Still, the instrument is finely crafted and well-rounded, suitable to a wide variety of genres and playing styles. Its tone is open, flexible and sweet.
