The World's Most Precious Violin Is Lloved By Everyone
　　 The "Messiah Violin" is the most expensive violin in the world, but some people claim that it is a fake.This violin is worth 20 million U.S. dollars because it was carefully made by the master instrument maker Antonio Stradivari more than 200 years ago.So, did he really do it?A scientist who studies violins and another scientist who studies tree rings said: Stradivari has never made this violin.They said that was impossible, because the last ring on the wood used to make the violin grew in 1738, and Stradivari passed away before that, and the trunk of a tree grows a new ring every year. ring.When a tree is cut into planks, the surface of each plank will show the lines of light and dark rings, which is the texture of the wood.There is this pattern on the surface of the ”Messianic Violin". The authenticity of the world's most expensive Messianic violin has been revealed. Dr. Henry flew to the UK with a travel bag containing 100 pounds of equipment.He has a microscope, a set of measuring tools and a laptop.The computer stores data

on the rings of many kinds of trees in the Alps.The wood used to make the Stradivarius violin came from there. Dr. Henry and two other scientists who studied tree rings arrived at the Ashmole Museum in Oxford, England. The “Messiah Violin” was placed there in a special glass box.This glass box will be opened, this is only the fourth time in 100 years.The curator of the museum first put the shining orange-red musical instrument on the velvet, and then removed the strings so that all the rings on the surface of the violin could be seen clearly.Then he gave the violin to Dr. Henry.Dr. Henry said: “I was really cautious at the time.We put it under a microscope with measuring equipment, and then started measuring the rings."Later, he compared those measurements with the rings on some other musical instruments made by Stradivari.Some rings are narrower because the climate is dry or cold during the period when they grow.There are also some rings that grow relatively wide. That's because they grow in sunny and rainy years. This pattern of wide and narrow rings (it looks very much like fingerprints) is very important. Dr. Henry is about to unlock the secret.Just like other detectives compared fingerprints, he compared the patterns of the rings.He knew that in any year, the growth of all trees in the same area was roughly the same.The pattern of wide and narrow rings on the ”Messiah Violin" is consistent with the ring patterns of other trees that grew in the Alps between 1577 and 1687.This unique pattern shows that the wood of the ”Messiah Violin" grew in that era.This proves that those experts who claim that the “Messianic violin” was not made by Stradivari are mistaken.Dr. Henry said: “That violin is definitely not a fake, and we can prove it.”
