 | |  | Cremona SV-1800 Maestro Special Edition Hellier Style full size Violin with Ivory Purfling
| At the top of CremonaÃs Maestro Series is a re-creation of the legendary œHellier” Strad. The œHellier” is the most famous of Antonio StradivariÃs inlaid violins. Originally purchased by Sir Samuel Hellier in the early 18th century directly from the Master, the instrument eventually passed to Mr. H.E. Morriss, a Shanghai newspaper publisher. Fortunately, Mr. Morriss took the Hellier with him to England before World War II; after World War II, Morriss saw all of his Shanghai possessions confiscated by the revolutionary functionaries of Mao Zedong and put on display as œplunder”. The original œHellier” is presently in the Smithsonian in Washington, D.C.
