Description
Approximately 650 still exist. The Lady Blunt sold for $15.9 million. The Vieuxtemps cleared $16M and the ceiling hasn’t been found yet. Stevie J walks the Cremona mythology, the unsolved sound mystery, the foundation-loan system that puts these instruments in the hands of living musicians without anyone actually owning them, and the double-blind tests the violin world doesn’t quite know what to do with. The honest note on the most expensive sound in luxury.
