'All my life my Stradivarius had been waiting for me, as I had been
waiting for her . . .' At 7 years old Min Kym was a prodigy, the
youngest ever pupil at the Purcell School of Music. At 11 she won
her first international prize. She worked with many violins,
waiting for the day she would play 'the one'. At 21 she found it: a
rare 1696 Stradivarius, perfectly suited to her build and
temperament. Her career soared. She recorded the Brahms concerto
and a world tour was planned. Then, in a train station cafe, her
violin was stolen. In an instant her world collapsed. She descended
into a terrifying limbo land, unable to play another note. This is
Min's extraordinary story - of a young woman staring into the void,
wondering who she was, who she had been. It is a story of isolation
and dependence, of love, loss and betrayal, and the intense, almost
human bond that a musician has with their instrument. Above all
it's a story of hope through a journey back to music. 'The hours
fell away as I read this spellbinding tale of love, loss and above
all devotion to art' - Susan Cain, author of international
bestseller Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can't
Stop Talking
Guitalele belongs to new music instruments. So far very few sheets
were written for this instrument. I decided to fill a gap in the
market. You will find 15 known songs in the book. Each song is
recorded twice, whether you have any more to play with. As the
guitalele tuned A2 D3 G3 C4 E4 A4," the guitar with a capo on the
fifth fret or Requinto can play from these notes. In the end I
added double page with most used chords. Songs: A Sailor Went to
Sea, Sea, Sea; Ah, Poor Bird; Careless Love; Down by the Sally
Gardens; Drunten im Unterland; Gaudeamus igitur; Lazy Mary; Molly
Malone; Nearer, My God, to Thee; Nechci, nebudu k vam chodivavat; O
Little Town Of Bethlehem; Oh du lieber Augustin; Santa Lucia; Sloop
John B; St. James Infirmary Blues The are in the book songs without
text. Check out samples from book: http:

This is the 1st book design that allows the guitarist to interact
with it. The sliding inner sleeves allow for quick & accurate
key calculations, as well as where to play scales and also
understand the uniqueness of the guitar fretboard.
