The violin, also known as a fiddle, is probably the most popular bowed stringed musical instrument. The instrument comes from Italy during the 16th century, and the oldest surviving violin dates to 1564.
The Lady Tennant Stradivarius violin was sold by Christie’s New York in April 2005 for $2.03 million US dollars. There have been private sales of similar violins crafted by Stradivari which probably exceeded this costly figure.
The expensive violin was originally owned by Charles Lafont, and the name comes from Sir Charles Tennant who what would become the most expensive violin in 1900 for his wife.
