“The violin was always with me, and then it wasn’t about leaving, Iba said Ibanez. “Completely heartbreaking.

“I spent eight years before theft, and from the university, my first professional auditions saw a large number of high and low, bad moments and good moments.

“A musician’s instrument is much more than an object, more of a friend.

“It comes with you all over the world and allows you to convey something bigger.
