In Reply to: was it the New Jersey Philharmonic... posted by Green Lantern on April 4, 2007 at 11:07:47:
Sorry, urban legend. There are only about 300 playable Strads extant, all accounted for and rarely seen for sale or loan. There are other Cremonese instruments available that are lesser known but almost equally fine.Here in San Francisco our SFSO concertmaster plays a Guarneri that once belonged to Heifetz. It's on loan from the foundation that owns it.
