Dear Ned,
Yes, the Messiah is more or less unmodified I think, though it is
certainly not in active use - as far as I know, all instruments in
the Hill collection at the Ashmolean were donated under the strict
condition that they are never to be played! Also, it is pretty hard to

Just for the record, I don't think any of those Stradivarius violins

modifications are depends upon who you're talking with, of course).

Let's imagine: turn that damned pegs every day, move that frets every
day. Then rebuild that silly 7 courses lute to 8 courses. Then to
