  • What is the oldest thing you own that you still use daily?

  • Not exactly. There's a break in the chain of ownership, when it came to the new world in the late 1700s. We're not entirely certain how my great great great grandfather came into possession of it, but we believe that he either won it in a game of poker, or he possibly stole it during the commotion of the last quarter century of the 1700s.

    Thanks for the info on Magini. I just knew he made my violin, or more likely one of his apprentices. And that he and another dude in Florence are were simultaneously credited for inventing the thing independently of each other.

    Edit: there's a fuckton more info on the guy than I could find back in 1993 when I looked into him

  • Sadly, no. I was told by my cousins, who are professional violinists, that I had the ability, but they didn't inform me of that until I was already 25 and a chef.

    I inherited the thing because I found it in my grandma's closet when I was 6 and helping her clean her room. I asked her who owned it, and she said it was my dead grandpa's violin. So I asked again, then who's is it? She thought about it and said "I dunno, I guess whichever of you grandkids learns to play it first."

  • Lloyd's of London authenticated the tag inside, and the age. If I remember to, I will post a picture when I pull it out this next week.

  • Not particularly. The wood sat in the harbor nearest to Brefchia to age for two years before Magini ever even touched it. It's pretty sturdy all things considered. The violin held up better than the original bow and wooden case. We fumigated all of them because they had become infected with bow mites. The original case and bow are in the attic, mostly she currently lives in a crushed velvet lined climate controlled case. Not playing her would do more damage than breaking her out and keeping her in tune.

  • My violin was made in 1614, but to be honest I use my practice violin daily and use that as my concert violin, and tune and play it weekly.

  • No facts, just bluster. You need to read the source material.

    Capitalism has served its purpose. Adam Smith would be screaming for revolution. Commerce exists without capitalism. It's long since past time for capitalism to be relegated to the dustbin of history.

    Also dumb means mute, not ignorant.

  • That's some capitalism = commerce bullshit. Capitalism only perverts commerce to its own end of allowing a single person to "own" everything. Commerce existed for over 10,000 years before capitalism existed, and the father of capitalism, Adam Smith, even said that once capitalism has achieved its goals, which we did in the late 1800s according to Adam Smith, that it would be absolutely imperative to transition to a more "socially equitable" [sic] and "sustainable" form of commerce under a direct democratic framework.

    Try using some actual facts rather than feelings in your next reply, also actually read The Theory of Moral Sentiments, and Wealth of Nations. If you are actually literate, you should be able to plow through both texts in two two to three hour readings.
