Guarneri del Gesu

　

 This violin is also known as "Muntz" from its ownership by the same Muntz family as the 1736 Stradivarius violin. Since Nippon Music Foundation owns two "Muntz" violins both made in 1736, the Foundation held a duo recital in July 2000 to compare the sound of the two instruments. Guarneri del Gesu "Muntz" was performed by Pavel Berman of Russia, while Stradivarius "Muntz" was performed by Tomoko Kato of Japan.
