Chapter 782

Let's shout. Brothers and sisters have a good weekend, but I hope everyone who has monthly tickets and recommendation tickets can smash the eggshell. Let's click on the virtual high, and the recommendation tickets can't keep up. The click push ratio looks like brushed data, which is more difficult. Thank you brothers and sisters****

Qin Shiou took out the violin with the leather cover. Winnie smiled and said, "God, where did you find the antique?"

Shirley covered her forehead with her hands and looked helpless. She fought hard enough for her daughter-in-law and children. Won't her art start with such a violin?

Qin Shiou glared at big Laurie and said, "don't aim too high. You can't play the violin now. Here you are. First learn to know the violin from sister Weini. Isn't it, Winnie? "

Winnie rubbed the leather cover of the violin, and e frowned slightly, as if she was wondering something.

The leather cover is a kind of brown calf leather cover, but it has become brown black after soaking in the water for too long, resulting in the blurring of the three letters that should be clear on it: whh.

In addition, under the three big letters, there was a row of more fuzzy small characters. After careful reading, Winnie murmured, "Dear Maria, you will always accompany me like the sound of a piano."

"What's the matter?" Qin Shiou asked.

Winnie looked at him suspiciously and said, "where does this piano come from?"

Qin Shiou shrugged and took out his prepared speech: "I picked it up from the sea. Do you remember the letter from the Strauss family? They're together. I'm not sure they're all from the Titanic. "

Needless to say, he was sure that the violin was a relic of the Titanic.

"God, isn't this Mr. Wallace Hartley's violin? "The music of heaven?" Winnie said with some disbelief.

"Wallace Hartley? The chief violinist on the Titanic? " Qin Shiou was also surprised, "isn't it so coincidental? There were a lot of violins on board, right? "

Winnie carefully opened the leather case and took out the violin that had been sleeping for a hundred years. There was a bronze medal on the handle with a line of words written on it. This line of words was very clear: in memory of our engagement, it was given to Wallace, from Maria.

Qin Shiou looks at Weini and spreads his hand.

Winnie threw herself into his arms, pointed to the violin and said, "this is really Mr. Hartley's piano, God! They all said that the piano had sunk to the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean and was damaged by the sea. Unexpectedly, it was so well preserved! "

Wallace Hartley is known as the gentlest man on the Titanic. When the cruise ship broke and sank, most people chose to run for their lives. A small number of people bravely faced death, while only 11 people remembered their mission at that time.

Among the eleven people were Captain Smith, a messenger who stayed in front of the transmitter until he died, a pastor John Hooper who was invited to preach at the moody Church in Chicago, and a violin band.

The band played until the last minute in order to calm the panic of the passengers. From beginning to end, they were playing a lively music until the ship sank and everyone died.

The conductor and chief musician of the band is Wallace Hartley.

Christians like to associate what they worship and fear with God. For example, Nimitz guided the way and rescued a boat of people in the storm, thus winning the title of "shepherd of God".

Hartley also has the title of "the piano sound of heaven". At that large-scale memorial service a hundred years ago, the host called the violin music played by Hartley band, which was used by angels to lead the dead on board.

The reason why the host said this was because the violin song directed and played by Hartley at that time was called nearer my God to there, which translated as "closer to my Lord", so it had the reputation of "the piano sound of heaven".

The violin has been missing for 100 years. Ten days after the sinking of the Titanic, people salvaged Hartley's body, but they didn't see the violin.

At that time, it was said that Hartley promised that he would take the violin with him and hope that when people recovered his body, they would transfer it to his fiancee. So we couldn't find the violin. People thought it was stolen.

However, some people who left in the last raft said that Hartley carefully preserved the violin when he saw that there was no one on board.

The final result was no result, because no one saw Hartley's last side.

According to the current situation, Qin Shiou thought that Hartley finally saved the violin in a double leather case and suitcase. It is estimated that at that time, he thought that even if he took it with him, the body could not be kept with the violin.

Anyway, the violin fell into Qin Shiou's hands and was well preserved.

Qin Shiou feels very strange that a violin can be preserved in water thousands of meters deep for hundreds of years without completely breaking down. The leather case is not completely waterproof. The violin has been soaking in the sea, which can be seen from the completely rotten strings.

However, the body and bow of the violin are well protected and have not been corroded much.

It is said that this violin is the most famous "the sound of heaven" in modern history. Shirley also worked hard and came up to watch it. After reading it, she was a little sorry: "it's not very beautiful."

Winnie gently stroked her hair and said, "no, it's very beautiful. There's a beautiful soul in this piano."

Qin Shiou is a little chilly after listening to this sentence. It's really different culture. If the Chinese say there is a soul in their musical instrument, no one dares to use it. No one wants to play the violin. As a result, he turns his head and sees a ghost floating next to him?

For Christians, this is not a thing. Many people even like to live next to cemeteries, because cemeteries are the nearest place across heaven. Just look at the cemetery tourism in the United States and Canada. Christians are not afraid of these things.

On the contrary, in the eyes of Christians, if an object can be connected with God, heaven and the like, and with a kind soul, it is a treasure.

When they heard that the legendary violin appeared, the fishermen came to watch it. Thank you for the film Titanic. The story of Mr. Hartley and his violin was well known and even remembered through the film.

After checking the words on the violin leather cover and the words on the bronze medal, the fishermen nodded and recognized its identity. The piano was Maria Robinson, Hartley's fiancee. Robinson, then 33, gave it to him in 1910 to commemorate his engagement with Hartley.

Bird checked the piano and said, "no wonder it's OK to soak in the sea for so long. This piano is made of small leaf red sandalwood. This kind of wood is really worthy of its reputation of being immortal for a hundred years!"

Small leaf red sandalwood is a fine product of red sandalwood. It has high density, small brown eyes, very stable wood property, not easy to deform and crack, and very hard texture. It is a very rare wood.
