David Garrett Crushes Million Dollar Violin

Model turned musician David Garrett said he has crushed his $1 million violin. Garrett was leaving London’s Barbican Hall after a performance and was carrying his 1772 G.B. Guadagnini when he fell down a flight of stairs.

“I had it over my shoulder in its case and I fell down a concrete flight of stairs backward. When I opened the case, much of my G.B. Guadagnini had been crushed,” says Garrett.

 

He bought the violin in 2003 and hopes that it can be fixed. “I hope and pray that it can be fixed, but if it can’t, I hope my insurance policy will let me buy another great violin,” Garrett added.
