    The magnificent Guarneri has been pivotal to my musical development, helping me to find my own sound and hone a style which has in many way been a revelation.  Without The Stradivari Trust and Nigel Brown, I would never have been able to secure such a cello. I’m so grateful for the opportunity to perform and record on such an instrument with the added option of being able to slowly invest at a realistic level.
