David L. Fulton - Letting Go of a Passion Project
For David L. Fulton, a private collector of Cremonese instruments, building his famous collection of violins took a bit of - as he describes it - luck.
One night at the opera, Fulton saw a face he recognized at intermission. He approached the man and said, “Didn’t you use to be Bill Sloan?” Sloan, a urologist and avid violin collector, responded with, “Yeah, weren’t you David Fulton?”
“Yeah, I used to be,” said Fulton, who had met Sloan in 1960 at the orchestra at the University of Chicago, where he attended as early admission with a dream of being a mathematician. As he remarked, neither of them looked the same.
That fateful encounter would thrust Fulton into playing string quartets with Sloan and marveling at some of the best instruments in the industry - which would later become part of his famous collection.
