  Thanks B-59 for linking this image to others (including a misspelled name!). We will update the records accordingly.

  Jascha Heifetz, violinist
  Presumably he used this for practising when traveling. He used many superb violins during his career: see www.benningviolins.com/the-violins-of-jascha-heifetz.html
  
  Here's one of the many earlier Bain photos of Heifetz.
  

• swanq said:

  This walking-stick violin was a new toy for Heifetz, a souvenir. Popular Science Oct 1925, page 45 (lower left) books.google.com/books?id=0CcDAAAAMBAJ&pg=PA45&lp... has a photo of Heifetz with his "violin-cane." In French, the term "canne violon" is used. Apparently he had picked it up on his recent trip to Europe for $400.

  Thanks swanq for the identification and figuring out what he was playing.
