Music is an unfailing way to express one’s emo-
tions and feelings and it happens to be a form of
art that is universally loved. Music can be a way
to relax or a way to muster energy for exercise.
With all the different genres, there’s something
in music for everybody.
Some brilliant musicians have made this planet
a better place to live in with their exceptional
music. While it is their skill and an innate talent
that distinguishes them from the rest, their in-
struments also contribute to their excellence.
Hundreds of unique musical instruments have
been made since the Stone Age, but some are
so extremely rare that collectors spend chunks
of money to own them and preserve important
musical history moments, while many consider
these rare instruments and the stories behind
them priceless.
VIEUXTEMPS VIOLIN
With a pristine condition at the age of 275 years, the Vieuxtemps Guarneri violin has no
cracks and has never been repaired or patched. The instrument, crafted by renowned
Italian artisan Guiseppe Guarneri in 1741, has been used by Yehudi Menuhin, Itzhak
Perlman and Pinchas Zukerman. The Vieuxtemps’ current anonymous owner, who pur-
chased the violin in 2012 for $16 million, has provided lifetime use to top-selling classical
violinist Anne Akiko Meyers.
