J-G Posted April 21, 2018 Report Share Posted April 21, 2018 Beautiful thing! Made for Ysaye around 1920 by Sartory. That's quite late in Y.'s career, so it probably didn't get much use by him. Fascinating to read that it was later owned by the concertmaster of the Sioux City (Iowa) orchestra. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
martin swan Posted April 21, 2018 Report Share Posted April 21, 2018 I got excited when I read the title thread - a Tourte owned by Ysaye ...!! That's a pretty hefty price, not sure it would fetch that at retail. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
