An Authentic Stradivarius
The violin is a type of string instrument that can be played by vibrating its four strings with a bow. Although its origin and creator are not clearly known, it was used as a popular instrument that provided musical accompaniment for dancing until the mid-16th Century. Soon, it turned into an indispensable instrument playing the central role in orchestras thanks to the development of fabrication technology and the change that occurred in the musical preference of people. If a high-quality violin is appropriately taken care of, its performance and value are considered to become even better over time. Among the expensive violins, those made by Nicola Amati, Antonio Stradivari, and Giuseppe Guarneri are appreciated even today as "works of art". - Canon

Mr. Stradivarius Working In His Atelier
O violino é um instrumento musical, classificado como instrumento de cordas friccionadas. É o mais agudo dos instrumentos de sua família (que ainda possui a viola, o violoncelo, correspondendo ao Soprano da voz humana. Os primeiros violinos foram feitos na Itália entre os meados do fim do século XVI e o início do século XVII, evoluindo de antecessores como a rebec, a vielle e a lyra da braccio. A sua criação é atribuída ao italiano Gasparo de Salò. Durante duzentos anos, a arte de fabricar violinos de primeira classe foi atributo de três famílias de Cremona: Amati, Guarneri e Stradivarius. Toda a invenção do violino foi conduzida pelas raízes do instrumento milenar chines erhu, as raízes deste instrumento foram os instrumentos de cordas friccionados por arco mais antigos já descobertos. O violino propriamente dito manteve-se inalterado por mil anos. A partir do século XIX modificou-se apenas a espessura das cordas, o uso de um cavalete mais alto e um braço mais inclinado. Inclusive, a forma do arco consolidou-se aproximadamente nessa época. Originalmente com um formato côncavo, o arco agora tem uma curvatura convexa, o que lhe permite suportar uma maior tensão das crinas, graças às mudanças feitas pelo fabricante de arcos François Tourte, a pedido do virtuose Giovanni Battista Viotti, em 1782. - Wikipedia

VW Type 82 with engine visible in Sicily (1943).
The Volkswagen Kübelwagen (short for Kübelsitzwagen, meaning "bucket seat car") was a military vehicle designed by Ferdinand Porsche and built by Volkswagen during World War II for use by the German military (both Wehrmacht and Waffen-SS). Based heavily on the Volkswagen Beetle, it was prototyped as the Type 62, but eventually became known internally as the Type 82. With its rolling chassis and mechanics built at Stadt des KdF-Wagens, (renamed Wolfsburg after 1945), and its body built by US-owned firm Ambi Budd in Berlin , the Kübelwagen was for the Germans what the jeep was for the Allies. - Wikipedia

The Kübelwagen on the Eastern Front in 1943.
O Volkswagen Kübelwagen (carro de assento em concha, numa tradução livre) foi um veículo militar desenhado por Ferdinand Porsche e construído pela Volkswagen durante a Segunda Guerra Mundial para uso pelas Forças Armadas da Alemanha Nazista (tanto a Wehrmacht quanto a Waffen-SS). Baseado no Volkswagen Fusca, foi inicialmente chamado Type 62 (protótipo), mas eventualmente ficou mais conhecido como Type 82. Sua leveza, agilidade e ausência de fluido de refrigeração (evitando o congelamento e ebulição em climas extremos) não demorou para demonstrar sua superioridade em relação aos veículos 4X4 dos exércitos adversários. Enquanto seu chassis e mecânica eram construídos na KDF Stadt (agora Wolfsburg), sua carroceria era produzida pela firma Ambi Budd em Berlin (ironicamente era uma firma americana). O Kübelwagen foi para os alemães o que o jipe foi para os Aliados. - Wikipedia
