A visitor would hear the swish of cutting-tools and knives, and see a tall lean man, wearing an apron and a white cap, bent over his bench. A simple artisan, a good husband, the father of eleven children and, it is believed, the maker of some thirteen hundred violins,. violas and cellos, Antonius Stradivarius spent fifty-six years in that room. Until he died at the age of 93 he worked untiringly, turning and cutting wood, listening to its sound under the bow or a leather-encased mallet, always gluing, sawing and planing.
Instead, the instruments were held upright, resting on the knee. And the 'bow? In all of the earlier drawings, it is shown convex. The earliest straight bow (and, consequently, lighter and more flexible) is the one in the Kiev fresco. It may be added that later (in the 17th century) the concave bend, or "cambre", appeared. This was done so that when the stick was inadvertently flexed the hair would be stretched taut and not slackened. The Kiev fresco dates back to the late 11th ,century, while in Western Europe similar bows did not appear in paintings until the 16th century, five hundred years later!
Sometimes extremely strange instruments would appear. One such instrument, which has remained an enigma till today, was the Golden Dionysus made by Prokopy Divish in the early 18th century. According to contemporary records the instrument had 790 strings and permitted 130 gradations of tone. It is said to have been equipped with some electrical devices. More ideas were ~ested as more attempts failed. Instrument-makers turned out on·e model after another. However history, that exacting connoisseur, has chosen and preserved only one of them.
