43. He
bought the tools and materials, opened a small store and set Mom up as the shopkeeper, while he
worked at a local company. He retired from the company 17 years later and continued to make
violins and other instruments
Dad often guessed why the Stradivarius violins sound so beautiful. Some experts claimed that
it was the unique varnish（油漆）that gave those instruments their beautiful sound. Dad娜ed that
chemists could analyze the varnish-if that were the answer. One of Dad’s friends asked him once
which kind of wood was used to make violins. When Dad explained that the top was made of
spruce（云杉），his friend said that he had an old piece of spruce Dad might be interested in.
He worked for the next 12 months making a violin from the wood that his friend had given
him. It proved to be a superior violin and it would become Dad's masterpiece. He was convinced

music shop until he was 80 years old, selling guitars and violins.

owner today may never understand why this ordinary -looking violin sounds so much
