I recently heard of the existence of an old Italian violin that is suppopsed to be haunted by a spirit of former times. This instrument is said to have the mysterious ability of inspiring the player to invent unknown tunes, play with virtuosity, etc. This instrument is supposed to have actually even played itself. Violin music is said to be heard in the room at night where the violin is stored. Has any one else heard this story? Is it possible that this story could be true? The violin is apparently owned by an odd old man in my area. I am planning to meet with him and find out more.
