This One Takes The Cake......
« on: September 26, 2009, 06:37:39 AM »
Dear stradivari1719,

hello,
you do alot of talking about strad violins,but you don't really say anything about this violin other than it has been repaired.do you have an appraisal from the N.M.M. or the smithsonian to verify that this is a true strad?your opinion about the violin really doesn't matter when your asking 7 figures.i also seriously doubt a violin of the quality your claiming, has some how ended up in alabama.i also did some checking on your "expert". Mr. Gerard Murphy, Atelierviolins, London.does not exist as best i can tell.as you say this is the information age, and all the resources i have at my disposal reveal that Mr Murphy doesn't exist.if Mr Murphy does exsist,can you provide me with the information so that i might contact him?i am very interested in discussing this violin with him.
thanks

Whew!! Just in the nick of time, Jed  :police:  saves the day! I was pretty sure you'd be thinking that you did exist. But to be honest the commentator sounded pretty sure that you didn't, which really rattled my cage. Are you perchance related to any of the lost Guarneri tribe from Cremona? If so, your DNA may help "solve a mystery"!  ;D
