Joshua Bell will be on stage again after many years, and will perform at the Taipei National Concert Hall and the Kaohsiung Weiwuying Concert Hall tomorrow (26th) and the next two days respectively.

Today, Bell brought a famous piano that is rumored to cost as much as a 100-square-meter mansion in Manhattan to the media in Taiwan. Although he had shown off its beautiful piano sound during his previous visit to Taiwan, his "life experience" still aroused great curiosity.

This violin named "Huberman" was made by Stradvari in 1713 during the golden age of technical proficiency. It was previously owned by the famous British violinist Bronisław Huberman in the 20th century.

It is said that when he performed at Carnegie Hall in 1936, his violin was stolen backstage by an underappreciated luthier Elman.

Elman asked his wife to return the violin before his death 50 years later.

Bell said that he discovered it during a performance in London. After playing a few notes, he felt that "it was designed for the way I play", so he tried his best to buy this piano.

Bell's last famous Strad violin was "Tom Tyler" in 1732, but when he played "Shuberman", he found that he couldn't go back, so he had to reluctantly sell "Tom Tyler". Get "Shuberman".

Bell said that of course he still misses "Tom Taylor", because each instrument has its own advantages and unique personality, some sounds can be done on "Tom Taylor", but cannot be done on "Shuberman" to, "But I can't afford it at the same time, that's life!"

What kind of sky-high price prevents famous violinists from owning both?

Bell laughs, "My violin is more expensive than my house in New York, and my bow is more expensive than my house in Indiana." However, "It opened up another world of expression, and I also discovered that I can use different With different methods and different strings, I can play sounds that the previous piano could not produce.”
