MARTIN W. PLACHT Guarneri model P

The instruments of the "P" series are made from a selection of solid, heavily figured mountain maple used for the soundboard, neck and sides. Selected mountain spruce wood for the top and the finest ebony for the fingerboard. Ebony or rosewood used for the fingerboard. The instruments are hand lacquered with alcohol varnish of various shades. French Aubert locusts highlight the high quality of these instruments. THOMASTIK DOMINANT strings are used for the violin, offering a clear, soft tone, bringing out only the best of the instruments, sonically speaking.

The Martin W. Placht trademark was created to unite violin makers in the West Bohemia region. The instruments bearing this name are produced as in the old days when several violin makers were involved in the production of one instrument at the same time. Different parts of the production are divided into a whole group of violin makers to achieve the highest quality and efficiency. Martin W. Placht himself was a great violin maker and musical instrument dealer in the region. He practiced a similar system of making stringed musical instruments and put a lot of people to work. This is one of the reasons why the Violin-Rácz brand decided to name these instruments after him.
