Wow...great article! If you haven't done so already, you may like to check
out a movie called _The Red Violin_. It details the life of a single
violin from the 17th century to present day. It's a surprisingly engaging
movie, and is in multiple languages (the violin had migrated from Italy to
Austria, England, China, Canada etc.). Well worth watching.
