  • Considered by many to be the most famous violin in the world, Niccolò Paganini's "Il Cannone" violin visited Columbus, Ohio, in May 2019 for the first time in its history. Part of a cultural exchange between Genoa, Italy, and Greater Columbus Sister Cities International, the 276-year-old violin was on display at the Columbus Museum of Art for one week only. Violinist Joanna Frankel performed on the instrument during a special concert with the Columbus Symphony. The violin was constructed in 1743 by Bartolomeo Giuseppe Guarneri and is known for its rich and powerful sounds. It was owned and played by Italian virtuoso Niccolò Paganini, who bequeathed the violin to the city of Genoa upon his death in 1840.

    What a wonderful treat for the music lovers in Ohio. Jealous in Chicago.

    Passing the instrument between people they should say "You have control" just like airline pilots . Maybe have a large velvet cushion beneath in case of disaster .

    I would have liked to first hear the violin with the gut strings that it already came with, and with a violinist who did not use the shoulder rest , and after that if they could make any modifications they wanted.

    See 2:34. Two observations. The large dark area between the fingerboard and the bridge and between the sound holes is a thick layer of dirt, rosin, and polish allowed to collect over the centuries. The black color is not the color of the varnish. The violin should be cleaned and retouched as needed. It looks awful! After all, they clean paintings, don't they? Also notice the cleaner area about a half inch above the bridge. This shows the earlier placement of the bridge before the neck was lengthened. Since this violin went directly from Paganini to the city of Genoa, the upper bridge placement was used by Paganini in order to compensate for the short string length resulting from the original short neck (compared to the long stop length marked by the notches in the sound holes). This made it possible for Paganini to play in high positions more comforably. The now longer neck (it was lengthened and raised almost a quarter inch in both directions) allows the original stop length to be used with comfort, and, no doubt, much better sound than in Paganini's day, especially considering the use of modern strings and bows.

      Ahh yes, this is what i have coined the infamous violin shit stain because the players over the centuries did not whip it down after use just like one must their bottoms hence the color. I have pictures of his violin and i like how they didnt graft the headstock to a new neck but extended it and mortized it to the body. The touch up in this area looks well blended.

    2:31 - always amazing to see (sadly, I think, the chin rest was lost to history). My only observation is ..did they touch up the varnish and colour staining on the front (by the fingerboard) at some point? Because, in pics from the 1950's I swear I saw more varnish removal there (from where he rested his fretting hand). If this was his main violin, it just seems lacking in the contact point wear marks you would expect from such a played-in instrument (the varnish/colour was generally very thin).
    The wear on the bottom bout (opposite side to the chin rest mark) is oddly interesting ..if its not all distorted by the videos lighting :)
    Darn, I shouldn't have studied at Luthiery college for three years. That was 25 years ago and its still with me ;-)

      Hi! Paganini didn’t used chin rest, played with gut strings (the gut strings were used even in 20th century), and his bow was also different.
      The chin rest wasn’t popular before 1850. It was after 1850 that the chin rest started to be popular.
      P.D.: Kreutzer, Vieuxtemps, Ernst and Wienawski also didn’t used chin rest.

    Is it a good violin ? I`ll take your word for it . Lots and lots of the usual chat. A tiny bit of rapid scratchy playing and a bit of clapping. They don`t talk over the clapping though .

      Paganini was a guitarist, he owned a guitar, and he composed guitar music.

    Paganini played lots of different violins. I'm sure maybe he played that one but he was never "attached" to any one violin in particular. Luthiers would often give him violins to play to advertise thier work. Paganini would often play "lesser" violins to show off in front of his peers. To say he played it is one thing, but to say it's "Paganini's" violin seems stretchy.
