I have played on this violin for nearly 40 years. This violin was made by Italian master luthier Antonio Stradivari in 1714 and represents one of the masterpieces of his "golden period" of craftsmanship. This is the first time since 15 years that a golden period instrument has been sold at auction. With its original parts, this violin is well preserved and ready for performance.

5. Ex-Kochanski Guarneri del Gesù – $10 million

The Ex-Kochanski Guarneri del Gesù is one of the most famous musical instruments made by Italian luthier Antonio Stradivari. It was made in 1715 and was originally owned by the Polish master Paul Koczalski. In 2009, Christie's auctioned the violin for $10 million. It was purchased by a German collector and later donated to the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston. Today, the violin remains in the museum's collection and is used by some of the world's finest musicians.
