The Ex Vatican Stradivarius is a cello crafted circa 1620 by Nicolo Amati, master to Antonio Stradivari. The instrument was originally crafted as a viola da gamba and converted into a cello by Stradivari. The filigree and paintings on the front and back of the cello were added in the 19th Century by French luthier Georges Chanot. The front depicts two angels, one on either side of the neck; one is playing a harp and the other is playing a tambourine. The back side of the cello shows a Vatican flag and Papal hat, flanked by two dolphins. Currently the instrument belongs to cello virtuoso, Wendy Sutter. ==References== * (Wendy Sutter's Homepage ) * (Article on Sutter's Recent Solo Work ) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ex Vatican Stradivarius」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
