Dear Friends,
For many years I am making a copy of a violin which I haven't seen too often in real. So I decided to go to Venice while there were still very few people traveling after Covid-19 Lockdown. My wife and I enjoyed staying for two night s in Venice. What a nice town. You should take your time to visit it once. Definitely worth seeing.
Well, this time the reason has been to compare my Carlo Antonio Testore violin with its original which is exhibited in a Music collection exhibition owned by Artemio Versari. Versari has started to collect instruments since he has been 40 years old and now after only 40 years he owns a very nice collection of important instruments. He is actually more specialized on more recent makers as Pollastri, Ornati, Garimberti etc. and indeed the Testore doesn't seem to be an original Testore the more I elaborate what I have seen and touched.
But since it has given me so much, I think it has been a wise decision to pay a visit.
Would love to get my Testore and the one in Venice played by Lena Yokoyama to compare.
Who knows, maybe I get this also arranged later on in summer.
Therefore, anyhow, a huge special thank you goes to Artemio Versari who allowed me to visit the violin.
And a very special Thank You to Paolo Cognolato, director of the Museum in Venice, for his understanding and enormous patience to open for me the museum, nevertheless it has been still closed. A very nice persona with lots of passion for music and instruments.
All the best
enjoy watching
Edgar
