America's Shrine to Music Museum


The Museum is the home for one of only two documented Stradivari guitars and one of only two Stradivari mandolins known to exist.

Also, the Museum preserves a bow attributed to the workshop of Antonio Stradivari, ca. 1700, with a fluted stick which was inlaid later (probably mid-18th century) with colored fruitwoods. The bow's mahogany frog is inlaid with the Royal Coat-of-Arms of Spain and the monogram of King Charles IV (r. 1788-1808), while he was still Prince of Asturias.
