  I'd rather be watching documentaries about violins and music rather than war, bogus news, and hate.  WE should be honoring these musical films!

  Not a word about Carlo Bergonzi which are more rare and had Stradivarius work in his shop and provided all the tools, knowledge and wood for him.

  His brother, Fred Stradivarious invented the banjo.<br>He was hunted down like a mad dog and shot!

So Time will not let me do what my heart wants to. but I can do that vicariously through video&apos;s like these.

  I read somewhere that there are a number of players who consider the sounds of a Stradivarius too brittle and don&apos;t like it.<br>Everybody have their tastes, &nbsp;I guess.

  The most controlled experiments showed that Strad instruments are mostly NOT preferred over fine modern instruments.

  When I was a boy my uncle would go to the woods a select a tree for his next violin this was always done in the winter no sap was running and always from a valley with a very heavy snow loud he would bang on the tree with a a log and listen then the tree would be fallen and let dry for two years before it was milled to lumber during this period the log was kept on logs support of the ground where he would bang on the log as it dried listening to tones paying attention to the log as it was milled selecting quarter or rift saw materials again bang wood with wood to hear tone he would select his pieces of materials I wish he had lived longer I would have experienced more opportunities to learn
