El instrumento más caro del mundo afpes

Stradivarius violins are well known for having a unique sound, these instruments date from the 16th century and were created by Antonio Stradivari, thanks to their sound, they are currently the most expensive violins in the world. It has been revealed by a study of the National University of Taiwan (Hwan-Ching Tai et al, 2016), that the sound of the Stradivarius violins comes from a chemical bath that was made to the maple wood, this corresponded to minerals that contained aluminum, calcium, copper, sodium, potassium and zinc (Infobae, 2016).
