THE MESSIAH violin artwork

admin

Hi,,its me again  just finished my  new project today.....I was inspired doing this piece by one of the most valuable musical instrument in history...THE MESSIAH. first known as Salabue Stradivarius of 1716 , a violin made by Italian luthier Antonio Stradivari of Cremona. The Messiah, sobriquet Le Messie, remained in the Stradivarius workshop until his death in 1737. French luthier Jean Baptiste Vuillaume of Paris purchased The Messiah along with Tarisio's entire collection. "One day Tarisio was discoursing to Vuillaume on the merits of this unknown and marvelous instrument, when the violinist Jean-Delphin Alard (Vuillaume's son-in-law), exclaimed: 'Then your violin is like the Messiah: one always expects him but he never appears'. Thus the violin was baptized with the name by which it is still known."there ..just thought of sharing this trivia.. hope you'll like my new project.Thanks and God bless.Mario Attached Images
Reply:Another impressive instrument. I'd love to see what you'd do with something like a flute or sax that's already close to what you build with all the keys and stops. I'm thinking those typewrite keys you just showed on the rooster.  I could see an orchestra collection maybe....No government ever voluntarily reduces itself in size. Government programs, once launched, never disappear. Actually, a government bureau is the nearest thing to eternal life we'll ever see on this earth! Ronald Reagan
