Nice to have you here.

Why do we have our podcast about string instruments?

Because behind every violin, every viola, every cello, there's more than just music. It's about masterpieces that have resonated for centuries, about the stories of artists and collectors, about markets that make these instruments an asset class in their own right – valuable, rare, and sustainable.

But it's also about responsibility: patronage. About nurturing talent, accompanying young musicians on their journey, and giving them access to instruments that can transform their careers.

Our weekly podcast combines all of this: the fascination of craftsmanship, the appeal of music, the power of investing in cultural assets – and the people behind them.
