I don't know whether to laugh or cry.

I’m just amazed that a "singer-songwriter" could amass 4 million worth of anything, even with Count Dracula’s lifespan.

Fark the collection. Put them in the hands of musicians and let them make music.

Is that your way of asking “Who is David Bromberg?” Bromberg was a top folk/rock/pop star in the 1960s then, at some point, he quit performing and moved to Chicago to learn to be a violin maker. He finished his training, made some instruments, and parlayed his knowledge and and connections into becoming a world class violin dealer. In the process he amassed this collection of American made violins. Now he’s out performing again in addition to his violin store. |

I understand Mr Bromberg's disappointment.
The final paragraph expresses some hope -- these instruments might find their way into the hands of inspired musicians, who will be even more inspired knowing the provenance of their violins or fiddles.
