  • Comment: Though this seems potentially notable, a single reference does not demonstrate WP:SIGCOV. With better sourcing this could probably be accepted. Chetsford (talk) 01:14, 2 August 2019 (UTC)
  • Comment: This is too extended a treatment for an encyclopedia. The article should discuss the history of the violin, not details about the artists who havep layed it, (which belong in the articles about them, not here ). Each step in the chain needs to be cited specifically DGG ( talk ) 00:55, 22 July 2019 (UTC)

The Le Brun Sradivarius of 1712 is a violin made by Italian luthier Antonio Stradivari of Cremona (1644–1737). It is notable as the only violin from Stradivari’s golden period known to have been owned and played by the violinist Niccolò Paganini.[1][2] When sold at a Sotheby's auction in London in November 2001 it achieved the fourth highest price ever paid for any violin at auction.[3]
