I read it somewhere Posted October 4, 1999 Report Share Posted October 4, 1999 I read in a recent press release that Midori is using the David del Gesu. I forget the name of the person, but in the article it was mentioned that he placed it on loan to her, as well as a pretty good Strad, for 2 years! Is this right? How come she gets such privalege? I thought that it was to remain in the museum for the use of visiting artists when playing a concert at the nearby concert hall, not carted around the world for the exclusive use of one!!! Can anyone shed light on this subject. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PC Posted October 4, 1999 Report Share Posted October 4, 1999 I thought she owned the David outright and the Jupiter was on loan to her from the Fuji corporation? Anyway, I'll be hearing the David in two weeks! PC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

victor Posted October 6, 1999 Report Share Posted October 6, 1999 She was borrowing the ex-David for a while from the Stradivari Society (when she was 10), but a few years later she bought it. It is the Jupiter Stradivarius which she has on loan for life, from a family friend. I got this info from Sheila's Corner.

Sheila Posted October 7, 1999 Report Share Posted October 7, 1999 Since my page has been mentioned. There is some information on the violins there and some links within the story. http://www.bright.net/~hhelser/midori.html Midori is one of my favorite violinists.

Aydeen Posted October 7, 1999 Report Share Posted October 7, 1999 What's more, she admitted it. At least she now learned what's good and what smells. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
