The violin that I have just purchased from Luiz is without question the best copy of a Guarneri “del Gesù” that I have put under my chin. It is responsive, big and beautiful sounding all in one. As you probably know, I used to play on the original Sainton “del Gesù” and it is no less commanding. In fact, the varnish is even more beautiful than the original.

Elmar Oliveira, Violinist

Having acquired Luiz Amorim’s newest 1744 “Sainton” Del Gesù violin, I can wholeheartedly state that he is the finest living violin maker. His instruments are works of art, in addition to being top rate concert violins. Bravissimo Luiz on yet another monumental achievement!!

Sean Avram Carpenter, Violinist

Luiz Amorim's violin that I own has been my companion in hundreds of concerts and dozens of recordings, giving voice to all my most detailed musical intentions. It is a privilege to spend hours and hours in the company of this extraordinary instrument.

Emmanuele Baldini, Concertmaster and Conductor

It's always a pleasure to meet the Amorim family! Wonderful instruments and bows - old & new - in the best shape, unending knowhow how to make the sound of a fine instrument even better; always a beautiful display with a big variety, many open ears, a great memory and feeling for the personal likings of us customers and a very kind, attentive but non-intrusive atmosphere.

Big recommendation for every professional in need of a perfectly balanced instrument/bow in any price category! (Looking forward for my personal Amorim violin to be finished soon and can't wait to make music with her!)

Julia Ungureanu, Violinist

When we visited, I had the chance to try out two of Luiz Amorim's violins: his slightly antiqued copy of the 1733 Carlo Bergonzi, "Kreisler", and copy of 1742 Guarneri 'del Gesú', "Lord Wilton". They were both remarkable instruments, both aesthetically and sonically. In fact, Luiz's copy of the "Lord Wilton" was one of the most beautiful violin that I have ever seen and heard. It had an extraordinary finish, and Luiz's attention to details left me in awe. The violin had a magnificent sound also; the G and D strings had great texture and power, while the higher registers still had the sparkle and sweetness which many 'del Gesú' copies I have tried were missing.

When we finally decided to commission a violin from Luiz himself, Tomas kindly guided us through the process. He worked with us patiently, and we felt very safe and confident about placing a commission.

The Master Maker Luiz Amorim

“AN INSTRUMENT IS LIKE A BLANK CANVAS ON WHICH I CAN EXPRESS MY ARTISTIC FLAIR AS A MAKER.”

Bringing Brazilian flair to the Italian cradle of violin making, at the heart of Amorim Fine Violins is its founder, Luiz Amorim. Inspired by the desire to transform materials with his bare hands, integral to Luiz’s artistry is his sensitive eye for the contour and texture of nature. As a result of his highly successful career, Luiz collaborated with his partners to open his Italian workshop in 2018.
