I wonder if anyone remembers my series of 20 violin auctions that were the all time parody of all the worst ebay descriptions regarding violin auctions.
such as:
Dead man's fiddle Stratovarious Emile d'Merde French violin Devil's violin Violin found in floor Worst violin in the world-RARE Violin 1750 BC Snake head violin Orca straw violin Dolphin head cello Violin labled Lockheed Martin/ Satan/ Leonardo d'Vinci/ Adolf Hilter etc.
They were all actual violins mind you and accurate in physical description with all the added artwork, scrolls, labels ... up to the point of the added folklore and language that varied from Agatha Christi to hillbilly.
Eventually the joke was on me when one cello and violin actually turned out to be valuable.
