Niccolò Paganini’s virtuoso talent, accompanied by his extraordinary dexterity and flexibility, gave him an almost mythic reputation and he is considered one of the greatest violinist of all time.

The Project G stereo, produced by Canadian company Clairtone from 1964 to 1967, was a design marvel with its rosewood cabinet and rotating “sound globe” speakers. Famous owners like Hugh Hefner and Frank Sinatra showcased it as a symbol of sophistication. Its $2,000 price tag (around $20,000 today) limited its market; fewer than 400 units were sold. The Project G has since become a collectible icon, epitomizing the sleek 1960s Jet Age style. Pictured here is Jazz pianist Oscar Peterson and an unknown model.
