The Antonio Wang Siracusa Art Model violin is a copy of the original model ""Antonio Stradivari Sunrise, 1677"", beautifully handcrafted with ebony and bone inlays on the top, back, sides and scroll. It comes with Thomastik Dominant strings and Despiau bridge.
Of Stradivari´s ten surviving instruments with inlays (eight violins, one viola and one cello), the ""Sunrise"" is the oldest and, as far as we know, the first one produced by the Cremonese luthier. The instrument belongs to the first period of Stradivari´s career, during which the influence of Nicolò Amati (1596-1684) was more perceptible. For example, the top of the ""F"" are practically aligned with the sides, a feature that follows Amati´s style.
