The Paganini Quartet was an American string quartet founded by cellist Robert Maas and violinist Henri Temianka in 1946.[1][2] The quartet drew its name from the fact that all four of its instruments, made by Antonio Stradivari (1644–1737), had once been owned by the great Italian violinist and composer Niccolo Paganini (1782–1840).
