General Kyd Stradivarius

The "General Kyd; ex-Stern Stradivarius" is an antique cello crafted in 1684 by Italian luthier Antonio Stradivari of Cremona. This cello, currently owned by the Los Angeles Philharmonic and played by Peter Stumpf, was stolen from Stumpf's porch in 2004. The General Kyd was later recovered after narrowly escaping being turned into a fancy CD rack.cite news | title=Rare cello escapes CD rack fate | publisher=BBC News | date=15 May 2004 | url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/3728193.stm | accessdate=2008-02-09]
