News Analysis: A 1719 Stradivari Viola Is To Be Sold By Bid: Reserve is $45 Million Dollars for one of only two know to exist privately. Allegedly only ten of his complete Violas exist today.
Antonio Stradivari knew Instrumental Construction as a Master. Tonal quality of his instruments are said to be without peers.
It is interesting to note that today, in 2014, with all of the Computers, Intelligentsia (just ask them), and Advanced Machinery in existence today, mere Equivalency to a 1719 Stradivari has not been achieved.
Perhaps some Products are Designed and Manufactured by Sheer Genius which are so Revolutionary, for the Benefit of Society, that even the “Masters of the Universe” (in the Business World) do not have the Mental Faculties sufficient to Appreciate nor Replicate those Creations.
So goes Commerce, Science and Technology.
Reality.
