Backstage With Yo-Yo Ma
By Jean Brandau, About.com Guide
Yo-Yo Ma plays two cellos: a 1712 Davidoff Stradivarius and the one he brought to Huntsville...a 1733 Montagnana cello. This was the cello he left in a New York taxi several years ago. After some publicity, the taxi driver found Ma and returned it the priceless cello to him. In this photo, Ma shows Frances how to hold the bow.
