I have been a professional violinist for 20 years.  I currently teach violin at University of California, Berkeley, and play Concertmaster for the Sacramento Philharmonic and Opera.  I've been buying and selling music memorabilia on eBay since it was invented and I've been buying antique art from European and American auction houses for a decade.  All pieces for sale are guaranteed authentic and come from my personal collection, which numbers in the thousands.
