Ms. Salvato brought the instrument for repair to Grubaugh & Seifert, California. They recognized it as the long missed Duke of Alcantara and informed the university. The university asked Ms. Salvato to give the violin back but she refused and explained how she came into possession of the Duke of Alcantara: she had received it from her former husband, who in turn got it from an aunt. As she laid dying, the aunt pulled the violin from under her bed and told to her nephew, she had found it by the side of a freeway in Los Angeles. In December 1995 the litigation was resolved out of court and the University of California came again in possession of the Duke of Alcantara after having missed it for almost 30 years. [151]

Alfred, Duke of Edinburgh was a brother of King Edward the 7th of England. He was popularly known as the Royal Fiddler and owned a collection of six instruments his widow sold to Mr. Partello.
According to Mr. Partello's will, his instrument collection had to be left to the Smithsonian Museum at Washington. After a worldwide protest storm - inter alia: Kreisler, Ysaye, Elman, Heifetz, Auer, Kenisel, Toscanini, Damrosch, Stock - against the placing of these masterpieces under glass, the will was contested and finally set aside. The collection was purchased by Lyon & Healy.
