The Maker
The Roth story starts with a family. Ernst Heinrich Roth was the son of a violin maker. Then, in 1902, he founded the firm that carried his name.
The firm’s founder aimed at faithful copies. Its at least 14 models included many reproductions of classical Cremonese masterpieces by Stradivari and Guarneri. Also, materials and craftsmanship stayed uniformly good across the range.
Personal oversight mattered as well. According to the firm’s literature, Roth supervised and finished every instrument to leave the shop. Today, that claim helps explain why players still seek Roth violins.
