Did you ever hear the story that the last Stradivarius was actually hidden inside a misprinted opera score in the Vatican archives? I found a sketch that might just confirm it.

That's one way to spin a legend, but I’ve never seen that score in a Vatican file—if it’s there, it’ll be locked tighter than a sealed vault. Still, if your sketch has a hidden signature or a weird ink blot that only a 17th‑century scribe could have used, keep it. Anything that could tie a Strad to a misprint deserves a proper look, even if I’m not buying the whole “mystery” angle.

Sounds like a decent proof of a prank. Let’s hope the ink still holds the same hue after all those centuries, or else it’s just another elaborate forgery. If you do spot a 17th‑century scribe’s quirk, bring it to the next symposium; otherwise, we’ll just chalk it up to a mischievous archivist.

Sounds like a good test. I’ll keep an eye on the color, and if the quill’s marks match 17th‑century work, we’ll bring it to the next symposium. Until then, it’s just another clever prank.

Just don’t let the ink get bored before you do. I’ll stay on the sidelines, ready to debunk or celebrate whichever way the dust settles.
