| Hi Patrick
A friend of mine purchased a Stradivarius violin for his wife. At one time he had 3 Strads at his home at one time. (Two dealers were there)
We also compared with blind tests the Strad and a Guarneri violin. The Stradivarius was a much nicer and fuller sound.
That being said, I belioeve that Isaac Stern played a Guarneri violin when he became a superstar violinist. I heard him front row at the DSO and he was fantastic.
