HuangKaiVun Posted July 11, 2001 Report Share Posted July 11, 2001 The only thing that I wish I really had was that Tourte bow ($90,000) that I played at New Year's. That bow was vastly superior than either my Sartory or Morizot, and it would've helped me far more than the Fritz Kreisler's Strad I was playing on (a good solid violin). I also wouldn't have minded having that "Gabrielli" violin (IV ~12) at the Tarisio auction last March. That was a fantastic baroque violin, equal or superior to my "Hartrain".
