De Munck (Stradivarius cello)

The De Munck Stradivarius of 1730, also called the De Munck–Feuermann, is an antique cello crafted by Italian luthier Antonio Stradivari. It was notably owned and played by Ernest de Munck and Emanuel Feuermann.[1] Steven Isserlis has described the instrument as his "dream cello [...] it has everything."[2]

It is currently owned by the Nippon Music Foundation, who has loaned the instrument to a number of prominent cellists.[3]
