Violin from Titanic
21-03-2016
Until June 30th 2016 you can see the violin, which was played by the bandleader W. Hartley to Titanic passengers while sinking, exhibited at PVA EXPO Praha. The violin, made in Germany, was in a leather case strapped to his body when found dead in the ocean. Despite the fact being for several days in salty water, the violin is not damaged and was played for many years in the past. In 2013 the instrument was sold in auction for £900 000.
