An Affordable Stradivarius at Auction

[BradKlein]

Think of this as a 'project' cello and violin.
Some parts of the complete instrument missing.
And will require new strings.

[MikeEdgerton]

It will take some work but it's got good bones.

[G7MOF]

I do like an instrument with potential.

[BradKlein]

All kidding aside, they DO have serious provenance and would be way cool to own, if only as a 'talisman'. I wonder what the lot will sell for?

[jesserules]

Be cool to have one of them, just as a thing. The estimate works out to approx. $600-1000 for all five, I'd keep one & sell the rest.

Bidding is open. Catalogue, HERE. The reserve of 350 £ has been met, with 12 days to go.

[Sakamichi]

It would make a great key fob for the Vanquish, if it didn't already have the fanciest fob available.

Tempting but ...you might perhaps consider a more contemporary pc of detritus ..https://cartervintage.com/products/g...nt=20352291267

[Bertram Henze]

I suspect there's more relics of Mr Stradivari's work on the market than he ever could have built in three lifetimes...
