The violin was played by Heifetz from 1950 until 1965. It\u2019s believed to have got its distinctive nickname from former owner George Hart, who named it the \u2018Dolphin\u2019 for its striking appearance and the rich colouring of its back.<\/p>\n
The instrument is considered to be one of the three very best violins made by Stradivari, along with the 1715 \u2018Alard\u2019 and 1716 \u2018Messiah\u2019.<\/p>\n

Chen himself has previously performed on another famous Stradivari, the 1715 \u2018Joachim\u2019. That instrument is named after the famous Hungarian violinist (and former owner) Joseph Joachim, perhaps best known for his collaborations with composer Johannes Brahms<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n
\u2018This instrument and I are going to be musical partners for the next few years,\u2019 commented Chen on his new acquisition.<\/p>\n
We eagerly await the results of this partnership.<\/p>\n
