Ask Smithsonian.................................................... 

Q: How many instruments did Antonio Stradivari build, and how were they identified or authenticated? 
-- Gisela Randecker, Beatty, Nevada

A: Stradivari probably built around 1,100 violins, violas and cellos; perhaps 400 to 500 survive, and some are still being played. He added a label bearing his name, his town of Cremona and the year to all his instruments on the inside and visible through the f-hole. Identifying a Stradivarius today may be complicated by the number and nature of repairs made to the instrument since his death, in 1737. 
-- Bruno Frohlich, Anthropologist Museum of Natural History

(Think Fast Answer: Glass armonica) Franklin invented this musical instrument in 1761. His version consisted of 37 glass bowls of varying sizes, mounted horizontally on an iron spindle. Mozart, Beethoven and Strauss have all composed works for the glass armonica.
