The violin was created and built by human hand and it is the human hand - the hand of the violinist - that gives it its soul and confers on Mother Earth a sound and a voice.

The "Blackbird", the only violin of its kind in the world, was ready in time for Swedish composer Sven David Sandström to compose music specially for the instrument, which received its first performance in the Swedish Pavilion at World Expo 92 in Seville. Since then, the violin has been exhibited and played in Washington, Nüremberg and Monza; hopefully its world tour will be extended and it will be able to go on emitting its unique sound, its melancholy song, bringing pleasure and stirring the imagination.
