An Edinburgh violin shop made the discovery of a lifetime when they found a message from more than 100 years ago hidden inside an instrument.
The message is the length of a small essay, and it was tucked inside an unusually designed, locally made instrument. The message was hidden from the world until Tim and Helen Wright, the co-directors of Tim Wright’s Fine Violins in Marchmont, brought it to light.
“Before the maker closed and finished the violin, he put a huge amount of writing inside, which is really unusual,” said Tim.
