{{Short description|Antique cello}} The '''''Davidov [[Stradivarius]]''''' (also: '''''Davidoff''''' or '''''Davydov'''''; {{langx|ru|Давыдов}}) is an [[antique]] [[cello]] made in 1712 by [[luthier]] [[Antonio Stradivari]] of [[Cremona]], [[Italy]]. It is very similar in construction and form to the equally famed ''[[Duport Stradivarius]]'', built a year earlier and played by [[Mstislav Rostropovich]] until his death in 2007. The varnish is of a rich orange-red hue, produced with oil color glazes. Its owners have included [[Karl Davydov]] and [[Jacqueline du Pré]], and it is currently used by cellist [[Yo-Yo Ma]].
