Anne-Sophie Mutter on fine and contemporary instruments

My main instrument is the ‘Lord Dunn-Raven’ Stradivari of 1710, but I also own another Strad, the ‘Emiliani’ of 1703, which I play far less often. To say that the ‘Lord Dunn-Raven’ is a better instrument sounds silly, as both Strads are magnificent, but it does have a tiger-like quality to its sound, which means that in the big concertos it can bring a roaring, forceful voice if needed.
