I heard him play this excerpt with the Boston Symphony under Ozawa at Symphony Hall in Boston in 1978. I and the audience were stunned. I love his tone, right up there with Kreisler, Oistrakh and Perlman, in my opinion.

EBay's selectviolin used to have a pictorial step by step description for shipping a violin without a case which I have used successfully several times, but the pictures seem to be gone: http://www.selectviolins.com/tabs/shipping_a_violin.html

Contrabasso: Look carefully at the elongated f-holes and open C-bouts of the Bisiach-Del Gesu example you have linked to. If you compare these two features to your violin I think you will see that yours is not based on Del Gesu. I am also an amateur and could be wrong!

What has happened to Itzhak Perlman?

The concert can be viewed on line at http://video.pbs.org/video/2284735575/ The motility of his right shoulder also seemed impaired. When he played on the G string he rotated the violin clockwise instead of raising the right elbow. He seemed weak overall - barely able to manage with the arm crutches. My expectations were low, and I did enjoy his playing. Easier to listen to than Stern at the end of his career. -

Joachim premiered the concerto, and I have always heard that he championed it. Do you have sources that suggest that Brahms wrote it for Sarasate?

Joachim is turning over in his grave!

Interesting comment in light of the fact that Francescatti was French.

Is there something special with this violin?

That is what I call a serious accusation!
