Featured Instrument

<b> A Stainer Violin</b>

A Stainer Violin

This week's featured instrument is one of the best-preserved violins by the great Austrian maker, Jakob Stainer. In fact, it is one of the few instruments from the 17th century that are still in their original form, with the original neck and bass bar. This instrument was once part of the fine collection of Sam Bloomfield, before going to the National Music Museum in South Dakota, where it currently resides.
