He owns four, actually:
* General Kyd Stradivarius (1714) * Soil Stradivarius (1714) * Sauret Guarnerius del Gesu (1743) * ex-Kreiser Bergonzi (1740)
The ones he uses primarily in public performances are the Soil Stradivarius and the Sauret G del Gesu. One most likely will not find these instruments in the local music store ... these can be very rare items and do cost thousands and thousands of dollars. When you are Itzhak Perlman, you can afford those without question.

David Garret is a Violin Virtuoso. But Itzhak Perlman & Joshua Bell are better than him.
The oldest surviving violin was built in 1564 by Andrea Amati, in Cremona.
The first violin made was by Andrea Amati in 1555. There are a few violins of his from that year that would be the actual first violin. A search of "violin Amati 1555" would give you pictures of these instruments.Interestingly, the first instrument in the violin family was not the violin. It was the viola!
