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.

What does the leader of the violin do?
I'm assuming that you mean the concertmaster, or the person in the first chair of the first violin section in an orchestra. The concertmaster is the most violinist in the orchestra and leads the section. He makes decisions about bowings, fingerings, and playing style for the 1st violins. In a concert, the concertmaster emerges just before the concert begins and takes a bow on behalf of the orchestra. He also leads the orchestra in turning and is responsible for playing solo sections in orchestral music.
