The idea of making a five stringed
violin, came from the need to enlarge the lower instrumental extension.
The addition of the fifth string (C), which for example is quite normal
for the double bass, is a unique example on the violin.
This
specific instrument is a masterpiece of the art of making stringed instruments
and was made in Cremona a long time ago under to Rik's scrupulous
direction.
The
utilization of this particular instrument is another characteristic of
the uniqueness that differentiates Rik Pellegrino, who found in this
particular violin the ideal tool for the realization of his
exclusive and innovative forms of expression.
