It is reassuring to see this cultural treasure attracting a near world record as a priceless work of art which brings together communities through music, be it financial syndicates, violin collectors, music lovers, performers or future sponsors inspired by the arts, who will support future performances on this violin.”
“We are very much looking forward to meeting the new custodians of the ‘da Vinci, ex-Seidel’ and see the provenance of this astonishing violin growing ever further,” he added.
