it would be ridiculous to only play it occasionally, because then you'd be learning and practicing on an entirely different sounding violin and everything would end up a little weird
I would have given so much fucking money just to be the guy at the bottom of the stairs that got to yell "OH SNAP, SON, YOU DONE DID IT NOW! AHAHAHAHAHAHA"
me and you, rank
we're like this
all I can think about is that scene in that Pink Panther movie where [SIZE=-1]Clouseau breaks that antique
I never get the people that lock valuable shit away never to touch it.
If I had a stradivarius you are damm sure I would learn Violin and then play it.
I never get people who are so flippant with amazingly rare and valuable, unique relics of history.
If I was a virtuoso Violinist and had a $4,000,000 Strad, I would play that shit once a year at most and you'd better believe it had some custom, unbreakable titanium case lined with virgin pubes to keep it safe.
But what's the point of having something you aren't going to use?
I can understand keeping it locked away when you aren't using it and transporting it safely, but to only use it once a year is a collosal waste of money.

The idea is you eventually sell it to some OTHER prick who won't use it and then take his money and buy shit with it that you will use.

Yes but if they don't care about money they shouldn't care about whipping it out and playing old macdonald had a farm on it.

I understand the purchase as an investment.
But even then you are relying on numbfucks to drop their violins down the stairs and increase your investment.
Antiques is a very fickle industry and is not recomended to buy into it as an investment, it is fair safer to play the stock markets.
Take for example, one of [Comic publisher and restorer, Greg] Theakston’s last visits to Ditko’s studio. While embroiled in a conversation, the historian noticed a piece of illustration board leaning up against a wall, slashed to pieces.
“He’d been using it as a cutting board,” Theakston said. “I looked a little bit closer and I detected a comics code stamp on it.”
He asked Ditko to turn the board around, a request met with a deadening gaze from the artist.
“I didn’t think he was going to do it,” the historian recounted. “It looked like a ‘Screw you’ look.”
Slowly, however, Ditko reached out and flipped over the board. It was a page of original art from a late 1950s issue of Journey Into Mystery, a splash featuring a hard helmet diver. Theakston couldn’t believe it. Not only was Ditko not displaying, preserving or prizing this piece of original art, he was using it as a cutting board.
Theakston quickly offered Ditko a deal: “Steve, I will go down to the nearest art supply store and buy you a cutting board that will mend itself-a plastic cutting board that’s so smart that when you cut on it, it mends itself-and you’ll have the finest cutting board on the block.” “Nope,” Ditko replied, twisting the artwork-turned-cutting-board back around.
Theakston pleaded. “Steve, geez. That’s worth a fair amount of money. At the very least-damn, Steve-it’s an artifact. It’s an important piece of publishing history in terms of comics.”
The artist turned and pointed to the drapery-obscured window next to Theakston’s chair. “Lift that curtain up,” he said.
The curtain, the historian estimated, was about 18 inches off the floor. He pulled the drape aside and saw a stack of original artwork from Marvel standing roughly a foot-and-a-half high.
“Can I look at these?” Theakston excitedly asked.
“No.”
The writer was dumbfounded. “I was sitting next to a hundred thousand, two hundred thousand dollars, maybe, worth of Ditko artwork and he was cutting it up without letting people look at it.”

This kinda reminds me of National Treasure, nicholas cage all ripping up the constitution and putting special ink on it and carrying it in wacky adventures and junk. Mostly because I want to push the friend that suggested we see that movie down a flight of stairs.

Angels had better weep when he plays.
I imagine when he gets to play it it will be taped to his hands so he can't drop it.
And to ensure he wont fall over again he will be taped to the wall.

angels weep whenever someone looks at a stradivarius
all I can think about is that scene in that Pink Panther movie where [SIZE=-1]Clouseau breaks that antique

Ah, and you no longer have to list the snow currency because it's the same level...ah, justice lives.
Because that's illegal.
Plenty of people who practice traditional martial arts use antique weapons for forms and demonstrations, though.
he's pretty crazy
he's also a hardcore objectivist
but he created Spider-Man so I can't do anything but idolize him
