This 1679 “Sabionari” Stradivarius is the only playable guitar by Antonio Stradivari left in this world.🤗So take just a moment to hear a sound that’s well over 300 years old!@55SweetThing #globalmuseum #music #guitar #Stradivarius

@globalmuseum Pure sacrilege, but I made it happen (poorly). 00:50 - 1:20 is particularly good.

I visited the Museo del Violino in Cremona a couple of years ago. If you are in the area (Milano - Brescia - Piacenza) it is a really well worth a visit. The collection has been moved to a modern building from the 1940s (Italian modernist/futurist style?) and it is stunning.

Cremona also has the Torrazza which is worth the climb.

The player is something to see ( and hear) too

@tribactam @globalmuseum thanks for your post! I am quite frequently in the North of Italy and will try to visit the museum. it indeed looks very worthwhile.

The first time I went in the 90's it was like walking into a bar off the main saquare with stradivari in glass cases and no explanations.

This version is much better and the building itself has an interesting history as the Palazzo Dell'Arte which focused on promoting the craft of the local luthiers in the 1930s-40s.

@globalmuseum His smile at the end, after playing so very beautifully, is like the best emotional gravy, ever.

I mean, I'm sure it sounds great but I can't tell from this, the recording, maybe the room, seems bloody awful
.
just me? Sorry

Thank you for sharing the beauty!

@globalmuseum @hypebot wow, amazing.

[rjohnston@techhub.social]

@globalmuseum Wow! Just imagine what someone like Pete Townshend could do with a guitar like that!

[soozcat@raphus.social]

@globalmuseum Grateful for this performance. Also ruminating on the terror I would feel about playing an instrument that was literally the last of its kind, for fear I might break something in the process

Wonderful!

[arrrg@kolektiva.social]

@globalmuseum and you really need to be that level of guitar player to be able to touch that instrument.

@globalmuseum
That's beautiful!

Note that there is no microphone in shot, and hear his voice in the longer version.
