Ms. Meyers recently acquired the 'Ex-Napoleon/Molitor' Stradivarius dated 1697. The violin passed through Napoleon Bonaparte's hands and then belonged to one of France's legendary intellectual beauties, Madame Juliette Recamier. Soon after, the violin passed to Count Joseph Molitor, a General in Napoleon's Army. Read about its provenance here.
Ms.Meyers also owns the 'Royal Spanish' made in 1730 by the legendary Italian maker Antonio Stradivari (1644 –1737). The 'Royal Spanish' earned its name because it previously belonged to the King of Spain.
Anne also plays on a violin by current Dutch maker,
Duncan Emck, that is comparable to the 1741 'Vieuxtemps' Guarneri del Gesu. She uses Francois Xavier Tourte (1747-1835) bows and is usually found running around the airport with her Bam backpack violin case strapped to her back.
