😇

How interesting. Was just talking this weekend with a musician friend about the qualities of Strads and the meticulous specialist care they require!

❤️ Aw, my boo! Adorarable. He’s a member of & performs For a charity I sit on committee for. Girls, wear waterproof mascara if u ever see him. Seanie; wear ur sunglasses on at night. Tears tears more tears. everyone in tears. A few ppl in fetus position on floor (not me; never) . U have exquisite taste, Master of Ceremony. 😍

Oh, Joshua Bell... 😍

Okay I should not have read the comments before I watched this. I don’t know if it’s the lack of sleep I got last night or the fact that I have a very dirty mind and the humor of a 13 year old boy but I had tears coming down my face because I was laughing so hard at this. 🤣🤦🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️ Please forgive me if this was supposed to be a serious post and I’m deeply sorry if I offended you. But I also gotta blame the lovely’s with all the dirty jokes in the comments.

How sweet it is to be in the hands of a man who knows his woman and values her like a strad. Thanks for the inspiration....

Absolutely LOVE violin music!! Seems I read or heard something recently about this particular instrument...I'll have to refresh my memory...

Music is the melody of the heart and the language of the soul ...

My strings could use some fine tuning 😇

Are making a spiced audio about a man who is blind and deeply in love with a violinist?

Whats wrong with your recording equipment? Is it sticky? You should wipe it down every now and again. 😝

Amazing! Used to play cello from 5th grade until I graduated high school. I remember seeing the band and orchestra while in fourth grade and was immediately drawn to the cello. I wasn’t all that good. It was more for fun and the friends I made in the orchestra. But wow. A strat. I can’t imagine seeing one in person much less ever touching one. I definitely don’t have the money nor did I ever play well enough to deserve to own one even if I could afford it. Thx for sharing. It brought back some good memories. I love listening to YoYo Ma play. Absolutely amazing.

Do you play the violin Gael? Are you an Irish fiddler maybe? 😃 True story, I went see an Irish band at this pub in Florida and the guy who played the violin was named Colin Farrell! He was not the actor Colin Farrell though.😜. He was a very young man that looked like he was 18 but could play that fiddle like an Angel. Gael, you can play ME like a violin, anytime you like.

May not be tonight. My recording equipment is being a langer. But I may have something special upcumming like

We are his Stradivarius Violins 😉😘

Okay I'm waiting for tonight's 3D NSFW audio 😎😜😈🎻

This is setting us up for something.... I don't know what but it's definitely something 🤔🤔🤔 side note 300 YEAR OLD VIOLIN!!! Wow 🎻🎻

One of my friends is a very talented musician. Showed her this. Her eye genuinely started to twitch when he got to talking about how they covered a Stradivarius in boot polish. 😂😂😂 I once spent an evening frantically comforting her once when she dropped her cello. Likening musicians to parents of instruments is ABSOLUTELY right. She was HEARTBROKEN at hurting her baby. (Although, while I have great respect and love for Josh Bell and his Stradivarius, I'll always love the sound of my friend playing more ❤️)

Double meaning here, G ? 🧐 Okay, challenge accepted. I will transcribe... *clears throat* We often forget that we are all uniquely wonderful and there is only one YOU. We often forget our worth and what makes us, us. To be yourself in a world that’s constantly trying to make you something else is an accomplishment. Stay true to yourself. If I’ve learned anything in this life it’s to never let anyone change your perception of who you are. Don’t go changing yourself to please someone else; it doesn’t work, because, that’s not who you are and if they don’t like who you really are inside then let them walk away. Moral of the story; Let yourself be loved by someone who knows your worth (just like Joshua and the Stradivarius) 💜

😇? Treble maker incognito?

😂👏👏

Cool! I used to play the violin. Played into college with a scholarship.

Kinda like piecing clues together. This excites me! 😂 I have a feeling that whatever Mr. G has planned will be soooo good. 🎉 😇??? Pshh! Playa please! It is definitely 😈! 😂😂😂😂

He does this, you know... it starts with Twitter...then a post here... little hints... something's coming... we're on to you, Mister 🧐...

You're anything but this👉😇 my dear devil in the sky 😂😂

😲

String instruments are musical sex.

😇=😈

A halo emoji means the audio will be anything but innocent 🤣❤️

That's was pretty cool! Thanks for sharing this Gael! Brings back memories for me. I used to play in the orchestra at my old elementary school. I didn't play the violin but the viola instead 😁

😃🎶❤❤ What you say is true! Something so special and priceless and nobody but the one who stole it could truly appreciate it for such a long time!! Even if the thief violinist ever took a chance to play it in public, the audience could never find out. It boggles the mind to think that his actions forced him to sit on such a huge secret for so long! I'm so happy that the Stradivarius found a good home with the amazing Joshua Bell, where it will be played, cared for, and enjoyed by someone who knows its worth, as well as have an audience again.😊

Maybe it’s long and thick ;)

Pssh. Boy, you ain't foolin' nobody. You're about as angelic as I am. 😈

💖😊

I definitely heard the story of this violin on Pawn Stars 😅. I too love to know the origin stories of such rare pieces/things. Not sure I could be as nonchalant as Mr. Bell is about handling it on a daily basis.

I was watching this few minutes ago <a href="https://www.vox.com/videos/2018/5/15/17353668/stradivarius-violins-price-classical-music" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.vox.com/videos/2018/5/15/17353668/stradivarius-violins-price-classical-music</a>

Hmmmmm🧐🧐🤔🤔🤔🤔 very interesting G😏😏

I've always wanted to learn the violin, but I ended up taking lessons to learn the clarinet for 10 years (elementary through high school). What a wonderful video~♡

Izzy♡

I played the violin for 8 years. This gave me so many feels...

The idea of a beautiful musical instrument wasting away in a museum is so sad. It was born to be played, not gather dust. We all know you are a master on the bedivarius! 🤣 Xoxo.

Chelie

I've seen this, this morning,are you giving hints on something Mr??? 😁
