lina For many years the Spanish violinist, Lina Tur-Bonet had exclusive use of this Testore violin, with which she performed all over Europe, as well as for her final recital at the University for Music in Vienna. She was later able to acquire a French violin of note. Lina performed with Orpheon on many tours.
