THE SPARROW

A Beautiful and Rare Stradivarius model violin I have named "The Sparrow". The name is inspired from the Bird's Eye Maple Back and Ribs. The wood is highly figured, seasoned and has resulted in a sonorous tone. This is the perfect violin for solo performance!
The violin comes with a Certificate of Authenticity including photos and measurements of the instrument. Inside the violin I have carfeully and artistically burned a part of an old hymn that was written in 1905; His eye is on the Sparrow. The burned inscription reads..."I sing because I'm happy, I sing because I'm free; for His eye is on the sparrow, and I know He watches me".
Finished in 2008. $5,000.00
