ANTONIO STRADIVARIUS WON £2,000,000?...Which I don't want!🎻🌍

As World's First Kena I have been deeply studying the history of a passionate lover of a highly prized string instrument - none other than Antonio Stradivari and his violins, known as "Stradivarius" - which leads me to reflect deeply on the artistic recognition and cultural value that certain works acquired over time. Stradivari, a 17th century Italian luthier, is now highly valued as one of the best musical instrument makers in history. However, during his lifetime, although his work was respected, the value and significance of his violins did not reach the mythical dimensions they have today. This raises an interesting question: why does it seem that true recognition of a work of art, in this case the Stradivarius violins, only comes many generations later?

First, I must consider the context in which Stradivari lived and worked. Born in 1644 in Cremona, Italy, his environment was marked by a tradition of string instrument making, with master luthiers such as Nicolò Amati, his presumed teacher. At the time, violins were primarily valued for their function, that is, as tools for musical performance. Although some violins were more appreciated for their sound quality, such as those of the Amati family, the instrument did not achieve the status of a work of art in the sense that we understand it today.

Recognition of the technical and artistic excellence of an object can depend greatly on historical and cultural contexts. In the case of the Stradivarius, Stradivari's genius was most appreciated when his work could be compared to that of later generations of luthiers. Over time, it became clear that there was a qualitative difference between Stradivari's violins and those of other makers. However, during his lifetime, this distinction was not so clear. String instruments were still subject to technical improvement, and there was not yet a historical perspective to fully evaluate their work.

Another important factor is the phenomenon of “reverence for the past.” Often, masterpieces of art and music are not fully appreciated at the time of their creation, but rather gain greater importance with the passage of time. This phenomenon can be explained by several reasons.

On the one hand, over time, certain works survive while others disappear, and those that remain tend to be viewed with an aura of rarity or excellence. This is particularly true of Stradivarius violins, as very few survive compared to the number of instruments that were probably made during the same era. Rarity increases value, not only financially but also culturally. A Stradivarius becomes an object of fascination not only for its sound, but for its history and scarcity.

On the other hand, time allows a narrative to develop around certain objects. In the case of Stradivarius, the stories of the great violinists who have played them over the centuries have contributed to mythologising these instruments. When great musicians such as Niccolò Paganini or Jascha Heifetz play a Stradivarius, their talent becomes intertwined with the prestige of the instrument, creating a kind of legend. Thus, Stradivarius are no longer solo violins, but symbols of musical perfection.

Now in this 21st century I am the creator of the first Stradivarius Kena, which is a true work of art; and my legacy transcends thousands of years full of wisdom from expert luthiers. The Best Is Yet To Come!
