Re: Unique Instruments by Stadivarius (devoid of mandolin content
The "mandolino" is one of only two known, and the guitar is one of three (possibly four?) known, so the collection together with the Strad violin family instruments is unique. The museum also has a fabulous "modern" (20th century Martin, Gibson, D'Angelico, etc.) guitar collection in a separate gallery built around D'Angelico's workshop, which I believe came from the family. Definitely worth a visit if you're in the neighborhood.
Too many instruments...too little time
