Violin by Otto Erdesz, c. 1985 – Niagara Falls
This full-size violin, made around 1985 by Otto Erdesz in Niagara Falls, is a rare example from one of the most distinctive and respected violin makers of the 20th century. Best known for his celebrated violas, Erdesz also crafted a limited number of violins, each marked by his signature bold style, meticulous craftsmanship, and deep understanding of sound.
Built with beautifully flamed tonewoods and finished in Erdesz’s richly colored varnish, this instrument offers a powerful, clear, and resonant tone—ideal for serious players seeking projection, depth, and individuality. Its voice is focused yet warm, with excellent response and complexity across all registers.
A superb violin from a legendary maker, equally suited to the concert stage or as a prized addition to a collection.
