The Finnish newspaper HS reports that an OKO Bank Stradivarius violin from 1702 will move in May from Pekka Kuusisto to Pietari Inkinen. The piece notes Kuusisto’s status as Finland’s most successful violinist and mentions plans to loan a Gagliano violin as a temporary instrument, funded by central banks’ insurance proceeds. Quotes from Kuusisto and Inkinen reflect emotion and expectations surrounding the instrument’s transfer.
