A Stradivarius violin was sold yesterday at Christie's for £902,000, the highest price ever paid for a Strad. The violin, owned by the Mendelsohn family, was made in 1720, and, because of its colour, it was known as the 'Red Strad'. It was bought by a professional musician.
In its years in the Mendelssohn family, it was played very little, except by amateurs, but its beautiful tones were demonstrated by a Japanese violinist before the auction (vente aux enchères) yesterday.
'It is in a very good condition because it was kept in a special case', said Yoshito Ito. 'It was looked after very well.'
<span>The violin was reached such a high price because of its date of 1720 (the height of Stradivari's Golden Age), when his finest instruments were made. Strads were admired all over the world for their purity and deep, clear sound.

I think every person likes
travelling. To my mind, travelling is the best way to relax. Last summer I visited
France, I was in Paris. Paris is the most beautiful city in the world. It is a
big city and it is famous for its monuments, museums, and streets. Many
tourists visit this city every year. Paris has a rich history, and I the Louvre
where there are many pictures, monuments and other art objects. Also I saw the Eiffel
Tower and it is super! I advise everybody to visit this place. Paris is a
wonderful city. The language is romantic and beautiful. The people are
interesting, and it is really an amazing place.
