Detail Introduction
Felix Mori Costa (fl c1800 - c1825) , Parma"Felix Mori Costa\'s instruments are distinctive in their model and choice of wood. {His instruments have] very individual f-holes where one f-hole is often set a little higher than the other, in the manner of a late Stradivari, and they tend to lean slightly outwards, with the inner nicks cut only halfway through the front. The wood of his backs is often quite plain or only lightly figured, but his varnish can be of a very high quality. The lack of original labels in [many of his] instruments explains why Mori Costa remains a relatively unknown maker. When not following his own model, his primary influence was G.B. Guadagnini." (excerpted from Four Centuries of Violin Making by Tim Ingles.) ShopsDiscussion board forCosta,Felix Mori |
