This sounds like a miracle.
Stradivarius violins are 300+ years old and their secrete sauce is still a mystery. Almost a myth! Puzzling news therefore, both from a music and science perspectives.

The strings of the banjo are similar to the strings of the violin, so this piece belongs to this topic. I've seen the movie long ago; this mythical scene cannot be forgotten.

This cello band "formed as a loose group of cellists who kept bumping into each other around town and decided it only made sense to hang out, drink beer and jam" (more). I like this motivation :-)
This particular tune was written by Paul Desmond for Dave Brubek (I hear "Mission Impossible" in it at the end; do you?).

Is the enormous worth of revered violins rooted in myth or merit?
I like this sentence: "Psychology plays an important role. If musicians think they are playing one of the greatest instruments in the world, they may actually play better."

A difficult piece (not only to play...). I love it for its amazing richness of sounds, soul and rythms (for those who don't know it and are curious, I recommand you keep listening up to the second part of the piece, a bit easier). I've chosen this version by Japanese player Mirodi to make us travel even farther.

A story about fame, art and perception. Courageous experiment by one of the world's greatest violinists. His instrument is a multimillion-dollar Stradivarius. If he played it for spare change, incognito, outside a bustling Metro stop in Washington, would anyone notice?
