Apropos musical instruments with a story: I've recently listened a lot to an album called "The Unfinished Violin" by the English folk musician Sam Sweeney. One of the rare good Spotify recommendations I've gotten in later years. Anyway, I wondered about the name, so I looked it up. It turns out the violin he performs on was made by a young violin maker called Richard Howard, but never assembled by him: he was drafted for WW1, and died in 1917 at the battle of Messines. I think that's the kind of history that matters, that adds a certain context to the music. To everyone in this thread saying the history of a thing doesn't matter: if something like that doesn't matter, what does?
