I took violin in elementary school and learned to play a rather brutal “silent night” for a school program.

I am willing to resume my career if someone will give me a valuable violin. It doesn’t have to be a Strad but I’ll promise to practice more often if it is.

sign me, 68 and waiting breathlessly in Texas.

What’s the difference between a violin and a fiddle?

You don’t spill beer on a violin.

There are already several endowments that do just that.

You however underestimate the extreme ladder climbing prestigehounds in the arts preservation industry.

2 violin/fiddle jokes...

Q: Why is a cello better than a violin?

A: They burn longer on a cold winter night.

"Because of the prices, many fine violinists cannot afford to own a Strad, yet they are the very persons who should be using them"

The owner seems pretty brilliant himself. Good on him!
