How Many strads Are There7

Not every eminent violinist can be the recipient of Stradivarius violin as a gift from his admirers, as has just been the good fortune of John Saunders. The supply of Strads is limited. A very careful estimate fixes 1,20O as the number of string instru- ments of all kinds-violins, violas and cellos-made by Antonio Stradivari during the 75 years he labored in his workshop in Cremona: and only some 500 are now known to be still in exis- tence. Probably a good proportion o1 the remainder are catered over the world in the possession of owners quite ignorant of their value. About twenty years ago quite a number of genuine Strads were discovered in South Africa, in Boer farmsteads where they had remained in many cases stored away in boxes in the pos session of descendants of Huguenots who emigrated to the Cape at the Re- vocation of the Edict of Nantes. - London Chronicle.
