Featured Instrument

<b>G. B. Guadagnini Cello</b>

G. B. Guadagnini Cello

This week's featured instrument is another cello whose purchase was organized by the Stradivari Trust, which helps musicians purchase expensive instruments by putting together syndicates of contributors. This G.B. Guadagnini made in Turin in 1777 was the last instrument Guadagnini made while under contract with Count Cozio di Salabue. It was auctioned by Sotheby's in 1983 for£44,000, an auction record at the time for instruments by Guadagnini. Thanks to the Stradivari Trust, it has been the concert instrument of Natalie Clein since 2002.
