This 1679 “Sabionari” Stradivarius is the only playable guitar by Antonio Stradivari left in this world.🤗
So take just a moment to hear a sound that’s well over 300 years old!👇❤️🔥

Lo de Jordi Sabatés es tela: Brenner’s Folk, Pic-nic, Om, Jarka… Ocells de mes enlla (alegro ma non presto) es tan bueno como el disco de Candeias. Irresistible Samba Bossa mediterranea, su piano eléctrico dialogando con una banda de aúpa, mecida por la voz de Erica Norimar.

The best story you'll watch all week: apparently the Italian town of Punta Marina in Ravenna has been suffering from a peacock "invasion" and residents are not amused.
The editing alone is Primetime Emmy-worthy.
Sound on. You can thank me later. 😎
Taiwan News:
In a sad development the government has announced that one of Taiwan’s most iconic sounds will pass into history this July as garbage trucks will stop playing Beethoven’s “Für Elise” due to copyright infringement.
At a press conference Taiwan Garbage Department 台灣垃圾署spokesperson Mr Yu Ren-jie 余仁傑 said “While Für Elise is in the public domain, it appears the specific arrangement of the classic we have been playing is copyrighted.”
He said the Dutch trademark agency Shietmark had contacted them and demanded royalty payments for use of the jingle. “While the Dutch graciously offered a low rate of 1 USD per day per garbage truck,” he said, “we have over 5,000 trucks across Taiwan, which would cost us NTD50 million per year.”
It turns out that a Dutch tourist by the name of Johann van der Smut had uploaded a clip of the yellow garbage truck playing the tune which brought this infraction to the attention of Shietmark. When contacted about this, Mr Van der Smut was apologetic. “My fahza loves Beethoven and I just wanted to bring a smile to his face,” he cried (at least that’s what we think he said).
Mr Yu said the government will hold a referendum in May to choose a replacement song but the public will only get to select from songs by Taiwanese artists to avoid possible future copyright issues. “Maybe a song by Jay Chow or GEM would get selected,” he suggested hopefully.
