Back in the late 1400's when I played first chair in the Vienna Orchestra, my good friend Luther Antonio Stradivari created a one of a kind Instrument for me. After several unsuccessful attempts at playing the instrument I decided to return it to Luther. He was befuddled( in Italian the would be Befussamento) I explained that it simply didn't sound right when I tried to use a guitar pik to play it. What I didn't mention to him was that it was silliest looking Guitar I had ever seen. I don't think it will ever catch on. Just a heads up to everyone, if you see a funny little guitar named Violin don't laugh, it seems some people just don't know how to make good guitars. I do feel bad though for my friend Stradivari cause it seems he wasn't able to sell many so he gave up after making just a handful.
