Thank you, brothers and sisters! ****

Qin Shiou took out the violin with a leather case, and Winnie smiled: "Oh my God, where did you find the antique?" ”

Shirley covered her forehead with her hands, her face was full of helplessness, she worked hard enough for her daughter-in-law and children, her artistic path wouldn't start with such a violin, right?

Qin Shiou glared at the big Lori and said, "Don't be too ambitious, you can't play the violin if you are given it now, give it to you, you can learn to know the violin with Sister Winnie first." Isn't it, Winnie? ”

Winnie was holding the leather case of her violin, her eyebrows furrowed slightly, as if she was wondering something.

The holster is the kind of brown calfskin cover, but after soaking in the water for too long, it has become brownish-black, and the three letters on the guide zhì that should be clear have become blurred: WHH.

In addition, under the three large letters, there was a line of even more vague small letters, and after reading it carefully, Winnie murmured, "Dear Mary, you are always by my side like the sound of the harp." ”

"What's wrong?" Qin Shiou asked.

Winnie looked at him suspiciously and said, "Where did this piano come from?" ”

Qin Shiou shrugged his shoulders and took out the words he had prepared before: "I picked it up from the sea, do you still remember the letter from the Strauss family?" They're all together, maybe they're all on the Titanic. ”

Needless to say, he's sure. This violin is a relic of the Titanic.

"God, this can't be Mr. Wallace-Hartley's violin, is it? The sound of heaven? Winnie said in disbelief.

"Wallace Hartley? Principal violinist on the Titanic? Qin Shiou was also surprised. It can't be that coincidental, right? There were a lot of violins on board, right? ”

Winnie carefully opened the holster and took out the violin that had been sleeping for a hundred years. There is a bronze plaque on the handle with a line written on it, and this line is clear: To commemorate our engagement, to Wallace, from Maria.

Qin Shiou looked at Winnie and spread his hand.

Winnie threw herself into his arms, pointed to the violin, and said, "This is really Mr. Hartley's piano, God!" They all said that this piano had sunk to the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean and was destroyed by the sea, but they didn't expect it to be so well preserved! ”

Wallace Hartley. Known as the most gentlemanly man on the Titanic, when the cruise ship broke and sank, most people chose to flee for their lives, and a small number of people bravely faced death, and only eleven people still remembered their mission at that time.

Among the eleven were Captain Smith, a dispatcher who stayed in front of the transmitter to call for help until his death, Pastor John Houber, who was invited to preach at Moody Church in Chicago, USA, and a violin band.

A band played until the very end, in order to calm the panic of the passengers. They played a light piece of music all the time until the ship sank and everyone died.

And the conductor and principal musician of this band is Wallace Hartley.

Christians like to associate what they worship and fear with God. Nimitz, for example, earned the title of "God's Shepherd" by showing the way in a storm and rescuing a boatload of people.

Hartley also has the title of 'The Sound of Heaven'. At that huge memorial service 100 years ago, the host called the violin music played by the Hartley Band. It is the companion used by angels to guide the dead on the ship.

The reason why the host said this is because the violin piece that Hartley was conducting at the time was called "Nearer-My-God-To-Thee". It translates to 'draw closer to our Lord', hence the reputation of 'the sound of the harp of heaven'.

The piano has been missing for a hundred years, and 10 days after the sinking of the Titanic, people salvaged Hartley's body from the water, but the violin was not seen.

At the time, it was said that Hartley had promised that he would carry the violin with him, hoping that his body would be given to his fiancée when his body was recovered. So the violin was not found later, and it was thought that it had been stolen.

But there are also those who left on the last kayak that said that Hartley saw that there was no one on board, so he carefully preserved the violin.

The end result was no result, because no one saw Hartley's last face.

According to the current situation, Qin Shiou felt that Hartley finally put the violin in a double holster and a suitcase for preservation, and it is estimated that at that time, he thought that the ship was in turmoil like this, and even if he carried it with him, it was impossible for the body to remain with the violin.

Anyway, this violin fell into Qin Shiou's hands, and it was well preserved.

For a violin that can be stored in water thousands of meters deep for hundreds of years and has not completely broken, Qin Shiou feels quite strange. The holster is not completely waterproof, and the violin has been soaked in seawater, as can be seen from the completely rotten strings.

However, the violin's body and bow are well protected and have not been corroded much.

I heard that this violin is the most famous 'heavenly piano' in modern history, Shirley also got up and came up to watch, and after reading it, she was a little regretful: "It's not very beautiful." ”

Winnie gently stroked her hair and said, "No, it's very beautiful, and there is a beautiful soul in this instrument." ”

Qin Shiou listened to this sentence a little cold, it is really a different culture, if the Chinese say that there is a soul in their musical instrument, then no one dares to use this instrument, no one wants to play the violin and turn his head to see a ghost floating next to him, right?

For Christians, this is not a problem, and many people even like to live next to cemeteries, because cemeteries are the closest place to heaven, just look at cemetery tours in the United States and Canada, and Christians are not afraid of these things.

On the contrary, in the eyes of Christians, if an object can be associated with God's heaven and the like, with a good soul, then it is a treasure.

Hearing that the legendary violin appeared, the fishermen came to watch, thanks to the movie "Titanic", the story of Mr. Hartley and his violin is known and even remembered through the movie.

After examining the lettering on the holster and the bronze medal, the fishermen nodded in recognition of the identity of the violin, which was given to him by Hartley's fiancée, Maria Robinson, who was 33 years old and gave him in 1910 to commemorate his engagement to Hartley.

After inspecting the instrument, Bird said, "No wonder you can soak in the sea water for so long, this instrument is made of small leaves of red sandalwood, this wood is really worthy of its reputation for not rotting for a hundred years!" ”

Rosewood is a fine product in red sandalwood, with high density, small brown eyes, very stable wood, not easy to deform and crack, and very hard texture, which is a very rare wood. (To be continued......)
