Spot the difference ....

 
 

Notice the two different violins. The first one, with the snow (resin) is the one Kennedy uses for rehearsals. It was made in 1990 by a French maker. The other, is a Guarneri del Gesu, made in 1730's and is the violin on which the Tchaikowsky violin concerto was first played on December 4th, 1881 in Vienna by Rudolph Brodsky, a Russian violinist who studied in Vienna and Leipzig before going to USA then finall settling in Manchester after an invitation by Halle.
