History of this instrument
This violin was originally part of the instrument collection of the Oskar Back Study Fund, which transferred management of the collection to the Musical Instrument Fund in 2009.

The Oskar Back Study Fund loaned it successively to: Simone Elders, Cecilia Bernardini, Siana Dragneva, Helbertine Hylkema, Angel Sanchez Marote, and Krasimir Dzhambazov. The Musical Instrument Fund first loaned the violin to Sergey Arseniev. Since 2015, Ian van den Berk has been the fortunate player.
