These beautiful antique string instruments are up for auction - and we want them all
Students of the Royal Academy of Music look longingly at some of the violins due to be auctioned off. Would they be a safe investment? Simon Morris says: "The market for other works of art is driven by people wanting the object. Violins are tools of the trade, thus there is an actual need for them. This need drives the market and keeps it consistent." Photo: Benjamin Ealovega
