019: Joseph Bein and the myth of the “Attic Stradivarius”
I met Joseph Bein almost as soon as I moved to Chicago to join the CSO in 2002. We’ve talked great instruments and bows ever since, over dinners, glasses of wine, and even Cubs games! Come to think of it, at Wrigley Field the talk is all baseball…
Joe has been immersed in the world of fine string instruments his entire life, and when he visited LA I couldn’t pass up the chance to talk with him about how his father, Robert Bein, and Robert’s friend Geoffrey Fushi started Bein & Fushi in Chicago.
We also delve into how (and why) fantastic instruments make their way into the hands of world-class players. And we eventually get to all those phone calls the shop receives about old violin cases in the attic!
Here’s more on Joseph from the Bein & Fushi site.
