    Il Cannone is not, I repeat, is not a piece of wood! This violin was created by one of the most gifted violin makers in the mid 1700s with poor facilities for the fine art of specialised wood carving. It is a work of art which not just appeals to the eye ; in the capable hands it produces the finest sounds of music for the souls waiting to be uplifted !

    Ah man, this instrument was just made for Paganini. The Soil would sound a bit shrill for most of his very technical pieces like this one--On Il Cannone you can hear every note very clearly with just the right amount of resonance. Not too bright and not too dark, although slightly on the darker side than a Strad. Very excellent.

    amongst other players I've heard play the instrument, Mintz seems to pull the power out from the instrument.
    I'd love to know if they ever attempted to match string gauges (and string tension) with how Paganini actually used it (I assume they would have to use the old string technology though).
    You'd think the instrument might react/vibrate more in keeping with the way it did when Paganini played it. I wonder.

      @@raoultak we heard it played live here in Scotland by Clio Gould and it had a remarkably similar sound, quite distinctive, a little bit husky, and incredibly loud - she played the solo part of the 4 seasons by Vivaldi, with the Scottish Ensemble, interspersed with her husband Jonathan Morton as soloist playing Piazzolla's 4 seasons. It was a great concert (and I could still hear her very clearly in the lead 1st chair in the orchestra during the Piazzolla because that instrument projects so well).

      Well Paganini could have been better due to the fact he most likely had marfans syndrome and maybe Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, meaning he’d have a reach, nimbleness, and dexterity that’d be hard to replicate without those disorders. Maybe. Who knows what he sounded like.

      Il Cannone was paganini’s instrument so it was played a great deal, just a long time ago and now gets very little action. Also it’s a weird violin from what I’ve read, shorter neck that most modern violins and a small bridge.
