My guess is that he has lots of industrial shelving in his basement and I would hope some kind of finding aid. Or, the end of every case has a label.

Whereas I have had one violin most of my adult life. One of my brothers borrowed a student-quality viola I had years ago, and he has not seen fit to return it.

But, were I to win the Lottery, I am sure I would flirt with some more expensive violins.

I actually once, briefly, played a Stradivari that was from the batch that the old man was working on when he died, and it was finished by his sons, who by then, were at least 40 years old and therefore had 25 years at least of craftsmanship behind each of them. This would have been circa 1978 or 1979.

It was like getting out of an Oldsmobile station wagon and getting into an Indianapolis car.
