David Castleton (Author)

A medieval German-Jewish legend tells of a man who decided to make a violin out of a piece of wood intended for a coffin. The corpse appeared to him in a dream, begging him to desist, but the man went ahead. He soon fell terribly ill. The man's malady continued until his son chopped up another musical instrument, burnt it and scattered the ashes over the corpse's grave.
