And probably there is no more beautiful music than that played on a Stradivarius.
A violin made by Antonio Stradivari more than 300 years ago (like the one in the picture), can be worth up to 5.750,000 dollars, the largest sum of money ever paid to have it!
What is the secret of its perfection?
Nobody knows it for sure but some scientists believe that the Italian volcanic ash the Stradivarius' instrumets were treated with, has given to the wood a unique consistency, responsible for the wonderful melodies.
