staylor Posted May 1, 2003 Report Share Posted May 1, 2003 I suppose I'll have to wait until whoever buys his strads will be having his children sell them yet again, when the time comes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tononi6 Posted May 1, 2003 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2003 Well, there's a wide variety of things to suit all pockets. A beautiful inlaid violin case, made by W E Hill & Sons has caught my eye. The Strad which is for sale has nothing to do with the Stern Collection. Anyway, you wouldn't want it. It's an early model, not of the 'golden period'.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray Weaver Posted May 1, 2003 Report Share Posted May 1, 2003 I love the running clock on auction screen - haven't seen that feature before. I'll probably drool on the screen but this time around I can't bid on anything - the bows particularly interest me as well as the Zygmuntowicz violins - one has already met the reserve!

tononi6 Posted May 1, 2003 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2003 The running clock has a strange effect and is probably designed to do so. You know, time is passing quickly.... bid before it's too late. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Todd French Posted May 2, 2003 Report Share Posted May 2, 2003 Wouldn't want it just because it's not 'golden period'?? It just happens to be one of the best examples of his earlier work, and hasn't been on the market in something like 60 years. Normally examples this fine don't get to auction - the only ones that do are the same half dozen or so that make the rounds constantly. I wouldn't talk down this instrument unless you've seen it - after all, it was good enough for Jan Kubelik, wasn't it?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tononi6 Posted May 2, 2003 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2003 'Golden period'- those were 'tongue in cheek' remarks, not meant seriously. 'Brevity is the soul of wit' Hamlet - Shakespeare. ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewuy Posted May 3, 2003 Report Share Posted May 3, 2003 I thought I saw that ex-Kubelik for sale years ago at Strad Magazines. So, Stern bought it ha? Maybe we'll also have a Strad called ex-Stern; the owner of violins also make the violin great, even if the violin itself is not that great.

kapellmeister Posted May 3, 2003 Report Share Posted May 3, 2003 I believe that the ex-Kubelik Strad was never owned by Stern...someone correct me if I am wrong, please! At least, the Kubelik Strad presented by Tarisio is not part of Stern's estate. It is being sold on behalf of "a North American university", to quote Tarisio's website. To my best knowledge, Stern was one of those "Guarneri" soloists...hence his Zyg copies of the Vicomte de Panette and Ysaye, both of which he owned (and presently are being presented by Tarisio). My two cents! Thanks- KM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
staylor Posted May 3, 2003 Report Share Posted May 3, 2003 Well, I suppose you're right. If I had it, I'd probably sell it! (If it sounded absolutely fantastic or something, that would be a different story) But you have very good Brittish wit, that's for sure!
