      Astonishing!

      It works ...

      ... but it's not what I have on the card!

      The "Firebird" Strad is relevant.

      Sciarrino is relevant, but not the CD label.

      Go back to mercia for the Lutyens connection.

            "...the isle is full of noises,
            Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
            Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
            Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."

                    and as the former "owner" of said Strad.

                    All the answers have now been mentioned separately. Anyone care to gather them together?

                        I do think I may need a little Dutch Courage to venture forth into these increasingly elaborate puzzles.

                        Of course, it could be like that memorable one set by Caliban - where the answer was a letter? So, the answer obviously is S
