There is a very small erotic image laminated inside this violin, in a spot impossible to see without a flexible fiber-optic scope. The question I am trying to answer is: if this were the violin of a 14-year-old boy, would he spend more time practicing?
(For the record, the image is from a 19th century painting and, as erotica goes, is pretty inoffensive. That’s the most I will say about it.)
