Youth and experience: One of Stradivari’s earliest violins, revisited in his Golden Period
Jason Price

The ‘Salabue, Matsuda’ is one of the very first violins that Stradivari ever made. It is handsome, remarkably well preserved and rich in history. But the most exciting part of its story is that it has a unique and special secret: the front of the ‘Salabue’ was purposely re-made by Stradivari himself, more than fifty years later, in c. 1716, at the height of his Golden Period.

The electric violins of Jean-Luc Ponty
Jean-Luc Ponty

In our 25 year history we have only ever sold one electric violin, a Yamaha that belonged to Isaac Stern. This autumn, we will shatter that record and sell the collection of electric violins belonging to the preeminent jazz violinist, Jean-Luc Ponty. An early pioneer of both electric and jazz violin, Ponty’s impact on progressive jazz helped create a new genre for violin players worldwide. Recording dozens of albums over the course of his decades-long career, Ponty established himself as one of Jazz’s great artists, performing alongside Frank Zappa, George Duke, Masahiko Satoh, Stephane Grappelli, Nigel Kennedy, Sir Elton John… among many others. Written by Ponty himself, this week’s Carteggio tells the history of the artist’s instruments, including his iconic blue violin.
