The Original Il Cannone

Il Canonne (or The Cannon) is a violin built by Italian luthier Giuseppe Antonio Guarneri of Cremona. The violin received its nickname from its owner, renowned violin virtuoso Paganini, who loved the instrument's explosive, powerful sound and exceptional resonance, fondly referring to it as his "cannon". Upon his death, Paganini bequeathed the instrument to the city of Genoa, where it resides to this day, housed in the Palazzo Doria-Tursi, still in playable condition. a lucky few have been allowed to play this historic violin, with jazz violinist Regina Carter even recording an album on the prized instrument:

Violin Care Tips

To keep your violin in pristine condition, you must learn to correctly care for your instrument. Follow the advice below to guarantee the longevity of your new instrument:

Storage

When not playing your violin, always store it in its hard case with the lid fastened.
Remember to remove your shoulder rest before storing your instrument.

Temperature

Like most musical instruments, violins hate extremes of temperature and humidity.
Extremes of temperature or extreme fluctuations of temperature, may cause the wood to warp, affecting your tuning pegs and the intonation of the strings.

Humidity

Humidity must also be kept constant (not too high, not too low).
If you live in a very dry climate or somewhere with long, dry Winters, you might want to consider investing in a humidifier.

Extra Care

Hold the violin at the neck, not at the body. Oils in our hands and fingers can damage the finish of the wood.
Wipe your violin down with a dry, microfibre cloth after playing. This will help to prevent a build up of rosin and remove any oils from the body.
Check the bridge placement before and after tuning.
Bring your violin to a professional luthier to be cleaned. Never try to clean it yourself using water or cleaning products.
