Antonio Stradivari 1724 ca. VL Abergavenny
This instrument still bears an original label reading ‘Antonius Stradivarius Cremonensis Faciebat Anno 1714’, but according to Florian Leonhard, the ‘2’ has been removed and replaced with a ‘1’, possibly to place the violin in Stradivari’s ‘Golden Period’. The Hill Brothers have also suggested a production date of 1724–25.
