  Oh Rakesh, I love this photo! I will admit I am partial to violins because my father was a violin-maker. This is very beautiful, with such warm light! I love your POV and I can't help wonder who it was, who made this glorious instrument. I do know the work involved. Thank you for sharing this, it brought so many memories back to me.
