Career
lieutenant is still unknown where he learned the art of violin making. His models were inspired to the Cremonese luthier Nicolò Amati. Seraphin"s stringed instruments use a varnish that ranges in color from golden brown to an orange red.
The varnish is usually transparent, lustrous and soft, but occasionally displays a hard, dry and crackled appearance.
The violins are responsive, very resonant and carry well. A genuine Seraphin violin ranges in value from $20,000 to $850,000 depending on condition and provenance.
However, there are only approximately 300 Seraphin instruments known to exist.
