No, it's not for sale. I used it when I was playing in the local HS orchestra. It was my grandma's college graduation gift ~50 years ago, & I got it when she died three years ago. I don't play it much, but I'm not selling it. It's a sweet violin, too. The violin is worth ~$2400 or so, & the bow is worth another $600 or $700.

My brother's Base is worth about $20,000 and the bow is worth another 2Gs....2 mil for an instrument is insane...

then again, Yo-Yo-Ma plays with a strad. also....

Stradivarius is almost like a god to luthiers. They refuse to do ANYTHING that he wouldn't have done to make his violins, & consider his violins to be perfection. They even refuse to acknowledge that one Strad might be better than another, for fear of making Stradivarius less perfect. It's really, really stupid. Yes, they're kick-ass violins. But... They're just a violin.

Strativarius+children=vault.

No way would I let one of my children have access to one of those fine instruments.

<< &quot;That's an unusual place to store a $2 million violin,&quot; Boston police spokesman Tom Sexton told the Globe. >>



Damn those police are so smart...
