CREMONA MAESTRO SPECIAL EDITION - HELLIER MODEL OUTFIT - VIOLIN 4/4 - SV-1800
At the top of Cremona�s Maestro Series is a re-creation of the legendary �Hellier� Strad. The �Hellier� is the most famous of Antonio Stradivari�s inlaid violins. Originally purchased by Sir Samuel Hellier in the early 18th century directly from the Master, the instrument eventually passed to Mr. H.E. Morris, a Shanghai newspaper publisher. Fortunately, Mr. Morris took the Hellier with him to England before World War II; after World War II, Morris saw all of his Shanghai possessions confiscated by the revolutionary functionaries of Mao Zedong and put on display as �plunder�. The original �Hellier� is presently in the Smithsonian in Washington, D.C.
