How to Keep Your Violin, Viola, Cello and Bow in Top Playing Condition > Ifshin Violins. By Richard Ward A fine stringed instrument is designed to last for hundreds of years.
There are a number of fine violins, violas and cellos that were made in the early 1600's that are still in daily use by professional musicians.
