OLD STRAD RIDDLE "SOLVED."
A news story from Bergamo, Italy, says "the secret
of Stradivarius, maker of the world's most precious
violins, is claimed to have been unearthed by a dealer
in old furniture after two centuries. The antiquarian
in going over an old desk which he had just bought
found a secret drawer. In this drawer, he says, there
were a number of manuscripts of the Cremona mas-
ter, including a letter to a priest, who was a friend
of his, describing his method of treating wood and
preparing varnish. The dealer endeavored to sell his
find to a violin maker of Milan, but the authorities
intervened and sequestered all the documents. Strad-
ivarius died in 1728 and the priest moved from Cre-
mona to Bergamo in 1730. The desk was sold at
auction after his death. It was understood that the
manuscripts included materials for an autobiography
by the violin maker."
