Gibson Stradivarius

The Gibson ex-Huberman Stradivarius of 1713 is an antique violin fabricated by Antonio Stradivari of Cremona. The Gibson, while owned by Bronisław Huberman, was stolen twice. The first time the violin was returned shortly after the theft; the second theft occurred on the evening of 28 February 1936, backstage at Carnegie Hall, while Huberman performed with his Guarnerius of 1731. Though Huberman never saw the Gibson again, the instrument was recovered 50 years later.

The Gibson ex-Huberman is currently owned by violinist Joshua Bell. Bell's recordings with the instrument can be heard on Romance of the Violin (2003) and in a recording of Tchaikovsky violin concerti with Michael Tilson Thomas conducting.
