An article published recently in the Greymouth Star on the subject of old violins has brought to light an interesting instrument. in the possession of Mr A. Shannon, of Greymouth. The unusual appearance of the case is borne out by the instrument itself, which bears the inscription “Antonius Hieronimus Amati, Cremonen, Andre fili, 1678.” Mr Shannon states that the violin was in possession of the family from which he purchased it for 70 years. Before that its history is lost in the mists of Time.
