If you ever get a chance to go to the Henry Ford Museum in Dearborn check out the display of violins Henry owned. Seems he purchased five of them from the Wurlitzer family in NY. Paid $100k in 1929. Two of them are Stradivarius violins that are now worth millions. Seems Henry referred to them as fiddles. Story goes he couldn't play that well but he did enjoy get togethers with live fiddle music (square dances).

Lady at museum said they take one out every now and then and let some of the orchestra members play it.
