Gregg T. Alf Concert Violin 2023
“I will never forget the moment Gregg Alf handed me my del Gesù model in Venice. The Cremonese beauty and the brilliance of this wonderful violin can hardly be put into words. From the very first moment, my new violin has become my closest friend and my best advisor on stage.”
Andreas Pihusch
