This video was born from a moment when I was being very stupid. Luckily, my brain usually has the good manners to make it the Funny kind of stupid.

Also note that operahouses, which slowly started to show operas to a paying public, needed something that could project to the back of the hall, which twenty violins could and lutes and lironi could not
