 RB> Just finished:  THE LOST STRADIVARIUS  by  J. Mead Falkner

 My wife plays the violin, and repairs them. At one concert,
 where it was centered around a violin she had repaired that was
 made by a local instrument maker, a couple from the audience
 approached her to repair a violin. They said it said
 Stradivarius on the label inside. And it did. And it was an
 authentic German made Stradivarius. I know cause the label said
 Made in Germany. It said it in English. For a violin maker from
 Italy that was quite interesting.

 Apparently Stradivarius is a generic name now. Like Websters.
