Ames Stradivarius
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Ames Stradivarius of 1734 is an antique violin, made by the Italian luthier Antonio Stradivari of Cremona. It is one of only 450[1] - 700 known extant Stradivari instruments in the world today.
The Ames receives its name from violinist George Ames who owned and performed with the instrument in the late nineteenth century. It was stolen from its current owner, Roman Totenberg in 1981, and is yet unrecovered.
