Stephen will be playing a 1732 Guarneri del Gesu violin.  This magnificent instrument is known throughout the world as the “Ferni” del Gesu, which was almost certainly played upon by Niccolò Paganini at the house of his friend Count Cessole.

Click here to explore the interesting  history about this instrument that is one of the finest and most prized violins in the world.

You can hear actual audio clips of our first rehearsal with Stephen playing the “Ferni” del Gesu.  Click on the GASP (Great A udio Sneak Preview) clips below.
