$10 Million For One Violin (And Not A Strad)

Violinist Aaron Rosand, now 82 and retired, has sold the instrument he played for more than 50 years, the 1741 “ex-Kochanski” Guarneri del Gesù. “The buyer was a Russian billionaire whom Mr. Rosand declined to identify” but who will allow other violinists access to the instrument.
