The 1710 “Dancla, Milstein, Krasner, Eto” Stradivarius - An exceptional Stradivari in great hands:

This violin is a magnificent Golden Period Stradivari, exemplifying the maker’s work at the height of his powers and from the period most prized by players and collectors alike. Every aspect of the violin speaks to the extraordinary consistency and refinement of Stradivari’s Golden Period production: the precision of the workmanship, the elegance of the model, and the sizzling Stradivari sound that violinists have sought for centuries.

The violin is remarkable not only for its condition and quality, but for the unusually rich record that follows it. It is exceptional for any Stradivari to carry the names of four world-class soloists in its history: Charles Dancla, one of the leading figures of the French violin tradition; Nathan Milstein, among the defining virtuosos of the twentieth century; Louis Krasner, who gave the world premieres of both the Berg and Schoenberg concertos; and Toshiya Eto, one of the most important Japanese violinists of the twentieth century.

A wonderful meeting of great artists and great instruments.

It is particularly meaningful for us at Tarisio to see these two remarkable 1744 Guarneri del Gesù violins together: the “Leduc,” on loan through Tarisio to Augustin Hadelich, and the “De Bériot,” sold by Tarisio to a generous patron for the use of Daishin Kashimoto.

Two extraordinary musicians, two extraordinary violins, and a rare reunion nearly three centuries later. We are grateful to have played a small part in bringing these instruments into the hands of these great artists.

The “Leduc” Guarneri del Gesù is one of the most iconic violins in the world, and one of the last instruments made by the legendary maker. For the past six years, we have had the great privilege of loaning this extraordinary violin to the incomparable Augustin Hadelich

To mark what would have been Giuseppe Guarneri’s 328th birthday, we celebrate the remarkable musicians who bring his instruments to life and remain at the heart of what we do.

Available for the first time in nearly fifty years through Tarisio Private Sales, the 1751 Guadagnini “Brodsky” carries a legacy as exceptional as its history. Adolphe Brodsky did what no other violinist had yet done: in 1881, he brought Tchaikovsky’s Violin Concerto to the stage for its first performance.

It is a privilege to present this magnificent violin and to seek the next steward who will carry its remarkable legacy forward.

We were honored to be part of the Queen Elisabeth Competition 2026, with Tarisio's Founder, Jason Price, presenting the 'Casals' Goffriller cello in a series of talks.

Pictured here speaking alongside fellow experts and members of the competition jury, Jason shared insights on one of the most celebrated instruments in musical history, reinforcing Tarisio's commitment to scholarship, expertise, and the preservation of fine stringed instruments.

Throughout the final round of the competition, visitors also had the opportunity to view the 'Casals' Goffriller cello, the instrument most closely associated with Pablo Casals and a lasting symbol of his extraordinary artistic legacy.

Congratulations to this year's laureates, and thank you to everyone at the Queen Elisabeth Competition for an inspiring celebration of musical excellence.

The ‘Casals’ Goffriller follows a remarkable early journey through 19th-century England, shaped by a culture of collecting that drew many important Italian instruments out of their original context and into the hands of dealers and private owners.

First recorded in the possession of John van Somer of Stamford Hill, the cello later passed through W. E. Hill & Sons and Glasgow dealer David Laurie, reflecting the active and often commercially driven trade in fine instruments during the Victorian period. By the late 19th century, it had already become part of a shifting narrative of attribution, expertise, and evolving connoisseurship—moving between identities as it changed hands across Europe.

Today, this layered provenance remains an essential part of the instrument’s story, tracing how the ‘Casals’ Goffriller came to be understood as one of the defining Venetian cellos of its era.
