300-year-old violin
Will this Stradivarius fetch 17 million euros at auction?
According to auction experts, a 300-year-old Stradivarius violin could fetch between twelve and 18 million dollars (around 11.4 to 17 million euros) at an auction in New York. The instrument, made by violin maker Antonio Stradivari in 1714, is to be auctioned in February.
According to the auction house Sotheby's, the "Joachim-Ma Stradivarius" is one of the most important instruments in music history ever offered at auction.
The violin was owned by musicians Joseph Joachim and Si-Hon Ma, among others. It was last used by the New England Conservatory in the US metropolis of Boston for teaching purposes. The music institution intends to use the proceeds from the auction for student scholarships.
