Ever pondered the origin story of the iconic Stradivarius violins? Believe me, old Antonio didn't just spring out of bed one fine day with a chisel in his hand and a poster of Amati in another, ready to carve history.

Quite the contrary! This masterful artistry was lovingly passed down through the ages until it crystallized into the sublime form we admire today.

Now, let's shift the spotlight onto a lesser-known maestro, Pablo Nassarre. Just to set things straight – Nassarre wasn't the Beethoven of violin crafting. Rather, he was more akin to a town crier, echoing the wisdom amassed from countless sources. How about referring to him as Pablo 'The Herald' Nassarre? Seems fitting. Re-printed many times in his day, today no one will listen.

Here's where the plot thickens. This wealth of wisdom, this enchanting art of violin creation, somehow got lost in the sands of time. What's is it like? Picture losing a priceless Stradivarius in an Uber!

In the face of this cultural amnesia, we retreated into skepticism, crying out, 'Hey, where's the science in all this?'

But what if the symphony we seek isn't strictly about whether it's scientifically proven or not? What if it's about... Well, I'll let that note hang in the air for you to catch.

Not intrigued? That's fair. It's not pure science, after all. But if you're keen on tracking down your misplaced Stradivarius - the metaphorical representation of Antonio Stradivari's cultural heritage - my book might just lead you back to the Uber where you lost it if you are interested.
