Music is a mystery for people who play it, write it, listen to it, and write about it. The only thing I can really do when I try to say something about music is assume.

Maier and Lipinski Continued
Could Amanda Maier be holding the Lipinski Stradivarius in this photo?
The angles at which the two photos were taken make it impossible for a layperson like me to even begin to compare the two instruments. The Times had a helpful - not - photo essay on how to identify a Strad, but obviously it would a violin expert (luthier, dealer, Frank Almond) to answer your question. I would love to know, myself!
I am active as a composer, a violist, a violinist, a recorder player, and as a teacher. I have been keeping this space in the blogosphere alive with assumptions about music (and assorted other things) since 2005.
