#22: Music in the Attic
This storyteller made quite a discovery in their old childhood home. They grew up in a historical building that had a huge attic. Unfortunately, their childhood home was scheduled to be torn down. They decided to take a walk down memory lane one more time before the old house was completely demolished. They climbed into the attic and found this amazing instrument.
Hidden between the rafters was a violin case containing a beautiful instrument inscribed with the line “Antonius Stradivarius Cremonensis Faciebat anno 1765.” If you’re a classical music fan, you know that a genuine Stradivarius violin is considered one of the most valuable violins in the world. Our storyteller is pretty convinced that this is just a replica. Still, it’s pretty cool to own an instrument from 1765. Not everyone can say that!
