When our late parents sadly died we were left a very special, and precious, family heirloom. Originally belonging to our grandfather's father, it is a Stradivarius violin. After cleaning, we wanted to hear how it sounded in the hands of a professional. In stepped the leader of the Royal Northern Sinfonia...world acclaimed violinist Bradley Creswick MBE.
We also met Bradley's mum, who, in her career, had worked with Laurel and Hardy in 1947.
Once played it was returned to it's case, and deposited securely away for our own grandchildren.
