One of the secrets of Stradavarius' Violins
Antonio Stradivari was a famous late 17th century/ early 18th century violin maker in Cremona, Italy. His instruments (as well as those of his peers) were renown for their superior quality of sound, their deep resonance and rich tones. Some have thought it was a secret technique, long lost, that created these masterpieces. However, current research seems to point at the density of the wood of that era being the special secret.
I've always held an admiration for those who can play a musical instrument. There's a few instruments in my life that I've always wanted to learn how to play: the violin, the cello, the guitar. Right now, my life is a bit too hectic to really devote to any truly time consuming hobbies, but at some point in the future, I hope that I can find the time to learn. I've always viewed life as an opportunity to educate and improve myself.
