Lord Dunn–Raven Stradivarius

The Lord Dunn–Raven Stradivarius of 1710 is an antique violin made by luthier Antonio Stradivari of Cremona (1644–1737).

[4] In the late 18th and early 19th century, English luthier John Edward Betts owned the violin.

English businessman and amateur violinist Walter Willson Cobbett acquired the violin in 1923, and it was sold at W.E.

[8] The dimensions of the Lord Dunn-Raven violin most likely reflect the new larger model that Antonio Stradivari started using around 1710, with the upper bout (upper part of the body) remaining the same and the lower bouts and the length of the body expanded by several millimeters.

[9] Violinist Anne-Sophie Mutter has noted that the Lord-Dunn Raven violin has a "tiger-like quality to its sound" and, in comparison to her Emiliani Stradivarius of 1703, has more "depths of the colors and incredible amount of dynamic range.
