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 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 a violin at auction,[3] and became the most expensive musical instrument in Europe.[4]
Tree ring analysis
- Dendrochronology report: John C. Topham, Surrey (2001) "The dendrochronological analysis of the table reveals that the youngest growth rings on each side date from 1703 and 1705. This correlates well with other Stradivari instruments of the period, notably the 1711 Parke, the 1713 Gibson-Huberman and another 1715 violin. John Topham also notes that it is probable that all of the pieces from these four violins come from the same tree."[5]
