The Touch of the Master's Hand
The Touch of the Master's Hand, also sometimes called ''The Old Violin'',〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Touch of the Master's Hand – the Old Violin )〕 is a Christian poem written in 1921〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Myra Brooks Welch – Poetry & Biography )〕 by Myra Brooks Welch.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Touch of the Master's Hand by Myra Brooks Welch )〕
The poem tells of a battered old violin that is about to be sold as the last item at an auction for a pittance, until a violinist steps out of the audience and plays the instrument, demonstrating its beauty and true value. The auctioneer then significantly increases the bidding (from the nomimal $1-$2 to $1,000-$2,000) only to have the audience ask why the bidding suddenly increased. The poem ends by comparing this instrument touched by the hand of a master musician to the life of a sinner that is touched by the hand of God.

J. Munro, EETS 140 (London, 1910), p. 145〕 found in .
