About Stradivari Invest®
Stradivari Invest® is specialized in the fine rare stringed instruments investment niche.
We facilitate investments in the top stringed instruments made mainly by the unsurpassed luthiers of all times, Antonio Stradivari and Giuseppe Guarneri del Gesù.
Our success depends on the profit and the satisfaction of our clients. Our goal is therefore to offer the finest instruments available that secure excellent financial returns, the most satisfying
An important part of our work at the Stradivari Invest® is to support some of the most accomplished young musicians who need a great instrument to reach the highest potentials of their careers.
The finest stringed instruments are so expensive today that practically none of the younger virtuosi can afford them without a support from a sponsor or a patron.
Both our investment and our support work marry beautifully in a well-balanced symbiosis. It is a win-win situation for all involved. Both the investor and the musician gain greatly from the partnership.
The value of the instrument is preserved and further enhanced when a well-known soloist plays the instrument. And the musician’s career gets a significant boost when he or she gets an opportunity to play a Stradivari or a Guarneri instrument.
Heart and Soul of Stradivari Invest®
He has a lifelong experience as a dealer of fine stringed instruments and bows. For his outstanding knowledge and his human qualities he is a deeply respected and sought after rare stringed instrument investment consultant.
A close working relation to the late Mr. Erik Järnåker brought him into the circles of one of the major stringed instrument collections, the Järnåker Foundation.
Staffan Borseman has acquired a vast expert knowledge in the field of the history of stringed instruments and bows as well as their physical construction and acoustics. His ever-growing interest and investigative mind brought him together with top international experts in every field associated with stringed instruments.
Staffan Borseman grew up in one of the most famous Swedish music families. A student of Georg Kulenkampf, Staffan’s father, Enar Borseman, violin concertmaster and music professor, led Staffan in the best of traditions, providing him with a solid basis for his musical training.
At the age of five years, Staffan Borseman made his first concert performance on the violin at the Stockholm Music Museum. Later he studied violin under Gert Crafoord, Josef Grünfarb, Tibor Varga and Jascha Brodsky.
During his international violin career Staffan Borseman has held, among other positions, that of a soloist, chamber musician and orchestral concertmaster of the Malmö Symphony Orchestra, Danish Radio Sinfonietta and the Royal Swedish Chamber Orchestra.
Over the course of 40 years Mr. Borseman has had the opportunity to examine and play on a number of the finest instruments in the world. Experienced by few, this close contact has enabled his passion for research and study of the unique aesthetical and mechanical properties that define these rare instruments.
Staffan Borseman is respected not only for his musical skills, abilities and knowledge, but also for his integrity, wisdom and ethical reliability. He is treasured and loved by his business partners, colleagues and students around the world.
Staffan Borseman’s brainchild
As announced in the December 2011 issue of The Strad Magazine, Staffan Borseman has organized a consortium of Universities to make Cremona a world-class centre for stringed instrument research.
Academics from Sweden and Italy have devised a yearlong programme to train science and engineering graduates in the latest acoustic analysis techniques, and to investigate how scientific knowledge applies to violin-making.
Donations to the research centre, scholarships and grants will soon be accepted.
Stay tuned for further information.
