Thanks for sharing this, made me laugh! Totally agree with Robyn, get your idea made into a movie!

I like your idea of an epic movie about the creation of the Fender Strat… Clearly that is a movie just waiting to be written… but seriously, thanks for highlighting ‘The Red Violin’, I had never heard of it until today, but it seems like a great film, which I intend to give a try.

How did you know about my custom lute crafted Strat? All my secrets are being leaked on the internet…

Who could not forget The Red Violin? IT was onbe of the best films of the decade. It even won the Academy Award for Best Music, Original Score but I think it should have been nominated as Best Picture. The film has a very well-written screenplay and it has successfully displayed the emotions and symbolism anticipated from a classic novel.

It only makes sense that the Fender Strat was actually made from a falling piece of space rock.

BIG THANKS TO OTTO….
I needed that exact detail clarified, because I am doing a little paper on favorite film, “Le Violon Rouge”.
An artist, I sometimes do a little restorative and so appreciated the story.
A widowed romantic, the unifying passion / eternal love touched me.
Choral and music lover, I know ‘way too little about violins, beyond the vague homage to Stradivari , commonly shared.

Nicolo Bussotti is probably based on Nicolo Amati the probable teacher of Stratavari. The Red Violin is almost assurdly the “Red Mendolsohn” a violin made by Stratavari between 1700-1720 during his “golden” period. The “Red Mendolsohn” is considered by some to be the finest Violin Stratavari ever made. The violin is played up to this very day by a female violinist named Pitcairn. Now in her 30′s, her grandfather bought it for her when she was 16 for 1.8 million dollars, a record at the time.

Thanks for stoppin’ in Michelle. I’ll check out the link. If I accidentally strike it ludicrously rich in Vegas this weekend I promise to buy you a Strad.

Okay, of course I want to comment on this one. I’m not familiar with a violin maker named Nicolo Bussotti. Just to make sure I looked his name up in several of my music dictionaries, but he wasn’t listed anywhere. I’m pretty sure he’s fictional. I decided to do a web search, too, and found a site that talks about the story of another violin that the plot of the movie is based on – and the violin is a Strad. Here’s the link: Rehttp://www.elizabethpitcairn.com/redviolin/redviolin.html
Hope you’re doing well!
