Ex-Kochanski Guarneri
Top 5 in Top 12 Most Expensive Violins
Guarneri del Gesu's Ex-Kochanski Guarneri is a beautiful violin created in 1741. It has a rich red varnish and is one of Guarneri's most beautiful instruments. Paul Kochanski, a Polish violinist, was the first owner of this violin. It was later sold to American violinist Aaron Rosand, who played it for nearly 40 years.
The Ex-Kochanski Guarneri violin was sold to an anonymous Russian collector in 2009. Rosand, on the other hand, donated $1.5 million to the Curtis Institute of Music. This violin is currently in a fantastic state of preservation.
