Our Amici Bernardi Stradivarius

The Amici Bernardi Stradivarius, previously known as the 1696 Stradivarius, was made by Antonio Stradivari in 1696 in Cremona, Italy.
Many people have been brought together through Andrew’s performances on the violin across the UK and internationally with its exquisite beauty, rich tone and musicality appreciated by many.
The Bernardi Music Group is proud to be the current custodian of this magnificent instrument, renamed the Amici Bernardi to reflect the friendships that Andrew and the group have formed over the years, and its provenance is being continually deepened.
To be part of the violin’s story and to discuss investment opportunities please contact tracey@bernardimusicgroup.com
