11. Vuillaume, after Stradivari cello - $200,000
This Vuillaume cello has been made in the style of a Stradivarius. Margarita, a student from the RAM, marvels at the sound of an instrument as expensive as a studio flat in London. Decisions, decisions... Simon Morris said: "Musicians can't afford these things. The reality is an awful lot of them have patrons. The Beares International Violin Society aims to bring musicians and patrons together, in a symbiotic relationship." Photo: Benjamin Ealovega
