"Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!"
Okay, now, i want to tell you about 3 Super Violins. I called them super because of their fantastic price!
Check this out from rank 3. . .
The Lady Tennant-Lafont Stradivarius
The Lady of Tennant-Lafont Stradivarius is an antique violin made by the Italian Antonio Stradivari in 1699.What makes this violin so expensive??
- Lady Tennant was once owned by the famous 19th century violinist, Charles Philippe Lafont
- After the death of Lafont, Lady tennant Stradivarius belonged to Sir Charles before he gave it to his wife in 1900.
- That's why the violin name is "The Lady Tennant-Lafont Stradivarius", because it was owned by Lafont, Lady Tennant, and made by Stradivarius!
- On April 22, 2005, the Lady Tennant sold for a record US$2,032,000 in New York and was presented on loan to violinist Yang Liu!
