A rare and valuable violincello, considered by experts to be a genuine “Strad,” has been in the hands of the Hayward family, well-known kinema entrepreneurs, for over a hundred years, having been used by the late Henry Hayward, senior, who was court violinist to George the Fourth. Its value is believed to be between £2OOO and £4OOO. The instrument was long forgotten under a bed in a house in Wolverhampton, England, for many years before it came into the possession of the Hayward family, under the will of the late Mrs Hayward. It was bequeathed to George Martinengo, of Auck r land.
