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.
