About Violin Day
Culture & Art , United States
Ends: Dec 13, 2024
DESCRIPTION:
Violin Day celebrates the centuries-old instrument common to several genres of music. Italian Andrea Amati of Cremona (1511-1577) created the first four-string violin in 1555. The oldest original violin still in existence was made by Amati in 1560 and is currently on display at the National Music Museum in Vermillion, South Dakota, United States of America.
How much are classic violins worth? A lot. The most expensive violins in the world today include:
The Titanic violin, played by Wallace Hartley as the ship sank, is valued at $1.7 million.
The Carrodus Guarneri, $10 million, by Guarneri del Gesu in 1743.
The Lady Blunt by Antonio Stradivari was created in 1721 and is valued at $15.9 million.
Guarneri Del Gesu created the Vieuxtemps Guarneri in 1741. It is valued at $16 million. Vieuxtemps Guarneri is played by American violinist Anne Akiko Meyers (May 15, 1970 - ), who is endowed with it for the rest of her life by an anonymous donor.
The most expensive violin in history is the Messiah Stradivarius at $20 million. The Messiah was created in 1716 by Antonio Stradivari. The violin has been played three known times, the last was in the 1930s.
