| The old violin - © Jelrik Nylund-van Berkel |
This week the challenge was from Geir: "The house with the strange things inside". In each house there must be something you are particularly proud of, maybe not so proud of or just think is fun to have ... and maybe you don't find it in every other house.
I immediately thought of the old violin that I own. This is both an object with a soul, a history and is very honourfull. Simply something to be proud of.

I inherited this violin from my mother the day I got married. She knew that I wished to own it such a long time. Throughout my childhood, this violin hang on the wall in the living room and it made me hurt since it is a sure death to an instrument to hang on a wall. The violin is from the grandmother who in turn inherited it from her mother, my great-grandmother. For my great-grandmother, it was a gift from her husband who bought it on the flea market.
Inside the violin is a note from the person who built it. The violin was built by Bartholomeus Kärner in Mittenwald an der Iser, Germany in the year 1777. So this year it celebrates its 234 birthday. I showed it to specialists and it is authentic.
In the year that the violin was built was W.A. Mozart 27 years old, France acknowledged as the first country in the world the United States as a sovereign state. The American Civil War ravaged America then. Napoleon Bonaparte's wife was born and James Cook discovered the Comoros ...
I am incredibly proud to own this violin and when I'm home alone, it makes music. My goal is to play better and better on it each time I try to play. I am originally an oboist but I do love the sound of this instrument so much...

Flott collage av den nydelige instrumentet, dette var veldig fint presentert av den nydelige gamle fiolinen. Jeg har også fiolin, men den ligger faktisk hos min mor, så jammen på tide å få det hjem til det nye "Huset mitt med de rare tingene i" hihi, da må dette også være hos meg, ikke sant? Flott levert Jelrik :)
SvarSlettJa, dette var nydelig - og så rart at du faktisk eier dette som er SÅÅ gammelt! Litt flaks skal man ha - og det har jammen du - Heldiggris! =) Flott satt sammen og nydelige bilder av underverket!
SvarSlettNyyydelig levert Jelrik. Både bildene, historien du forteller og måten det hele blir prensentert på er super!Tenk å eie noe så vakkert med en lang historie bak seg. Du er kjempeheldig;O))) KNALL flott løsning på uketema. Me LIKE;O)))))
SvarSlettSkal si Jelrik..., noe ting har man i hus som betyr så utrolgi mye mer for enn en bare en ting. Denne fiolinen er en slik ting, historien, det at den har tilhørt din mor, gjør det ikke bare til et instrument, men noe langt mer faktisk, uerstattelige for Jelrik gutten kan jeg tenke meg.
SvarSlettFlott levert ukesoppgave!! Anneklem din vei.
