A musician has created the world’s smallest violin, standing just an inch-and-a-half long, and is selling them for more than £1,000. 一位音乐家制作出世界上最小的小提琴，这些小提琴只有1.5英寸，每个售价超过1000英镑。 David Edwards, who once played cello in the Scottish National Orchestra, gave up his professional music career to make doll’s house miniatures when he realised there was a gap in the market. 大卫·爱德华兹曾在苏格兰国家交响乐团演奏大提琴，后来当他发现玩偶之家微型玩具市场缺口后就放弃了了自己的音乐事业。 The miniaturist from Edinburgh has made his hobby a full-time career, creating hand-crafted pieces including mini everyday household items such as mini shaving brush and razor and kitchenware. 这位来自爱丁堡的微雕艺术家已经把这个爱好当成了自己的事业来经营，他制作了很多日用品微型作品，比如微型剃须刷、剃刀和厨房用具等。 The violins, based on the world-renowned Stradivarius, stand just one 12th of the normal size and can fetch a small fortune. 作为世界知名的弦乐器，这些迷你小提琴虽然只有正常小提琴的十二分之一，但每个都能小赚一笔。 Mr Edwards, 76, said: ‘I make ordinary things but of a very high quality. I know what a violin looks like, that’s why I have a big advantage over other people where making violins is concerned. There’s no doubt my miniature violins are the best in the world.’ |
