I just came across an article about David Garrett accidentally crushing his 236-year-old million-dollar Guadagnini violin and felt really sad.
I don’t play the violin although many years ago, my grandmother had given me an old Czech copy of a Stradivarius. It first came to me in good condition. After years of my being separated from it, it came back to me with its body cracked. I doubt the violin was ever worth very much but I was heartbroken nonetheless.
