It was a religious experience - with the lightest of bow pressure it had a big, rich sound (even in the hands of a young violinist) that enveloped the player and filled the room.
I've played a lot of fine fiddles in the decades since, but none could measure up to that one!
The backstory is that it got on the auction because it's owner was talking to one of his friends, who happened to be the station manager, and must have mentioned it offhand. Then he totally forgot about it. He and his wife, also a violinist, were very very gracious about letting a teen-age violinist play a priceless treasure.
Very cool about the piano. I'd love to hear more about it.
