Notes:
"It shows little evidence of hard use, and was, in fact, unknown to modern experts until 1955. David Fulton is only the third owner of this violin. One notable aspect of its construction is the thickness of its top; at 2.9 mm, it is a quarter-millimetre thicker than that of any other known Stradivari violin."Homage, James Ehnes, Homage
