Instrument
Szabadi usually plays an instrument on loan from the Hungarian state collection - a Lorenzo Storioni violin made in Cremona in 1778. However, in 1995 he appeared in a "Stradivarius Series" in Madrid, playing one of the "Strad" instruments housed in the Royal Palace (Palacio Real).

Famous quotes containing the word instrument:
“Whoever has the luck to be born a character can laugh even at death. Because a character will never die! A man will die, a writer, the instrument of creation: but what he has created will never die!”
—Luigi Pirandello (1867–1936)
“Napoleon has not been conquered by men. He was greater than any of us. God punished him because he relied solely on his own intelligence until that incredible instrument was so strained that it broke.”
—Jean Baptiste Bernadotte (1763–1844)
“Whilst Marx turned the Hegelian dialectic outwards, making it an instrument with which he could interpret the facts of history and so arrive at an objective science which insists on the translation of theory into action, Kierkegaard, on the other hand, turned the same instruments inwards, for the examination of his own soul or psychology, arriving at a subjective philosophy which involved him in the deepest pessimism and despair of action.”
—Sir Herbert Read (1893–1968)
