Bell’s instrument is the Gibson ex Huberman, a Stradivarius made in 1713 during what is known as Stradivari’s “Golden Era”. This violin was stolen twice from its previous owner, Bronisław Huberman; the last time the thief confessed to the act on his deathbed. Bell had held and played the violin, and its owner at the time, violinist Norbert Brainin, jokingly told Bell that the violin could be his for $4 million. On 3 August 2001, Bell was in London to perform at The Proms, and stopped by J & A Beare before the concert.

He later sold his previous violin, the Tom Taylor Stradivarius, for a little more than $2 million and bought the Gibson ex Huberman for a little under the $4 million asking price. The 2013 documentary The Return of the Violin tells the story of the instrument’s theft, return, and subsequent acquisition by Bell. Bell’s first recording made with the Gibson ex Huberman was Romance of the Violin for Sony Classical Records in 2003.
