1716 "Messiah" Messiah

Speaking of the Messiah 'Le Messie', many friends are not unfamiliar with him. However, the question is: why is this violin so famous? When a problem arises, many people are at a loss and don't know what to say. To quote Mr. Zhou Guoping's famous saying, "The things we are most familiar with are often the things we least understand." Perhaps the Messiah's fame is too great.

This violin, named 'Le Messie', was completed in 1716, during the 'peak 20 years' of Stradivarius violin making art (1705-1725). As a leading figure in the industry of that era, Stradivari's artistic achievements have entered the realm of free will. Many works from this period still exist today, such as "Alard, 1715" and "Lady Blunt, 1721", both of which can be described as magnificent. And the "fame" of Messiah 1716 is not primarily based on factors such as craftsmanship or sound quality. MP's explanation is: "Messiah is the most well preserved Stradivarius violin to date. Although it is not the only one, it is the most famous." Compared to another famous "original" viola, the Stradivarius "Medici" 1690, Messiah has more to explore.
