# bio (long form, separated for readability)
bio: |
  Antonio Stradivari was an Italian luthier working from around 1644 until his death on 18 December 1737. Over that span he built violins, cellos, guitars, violas, and harps — an estimated 1,116 instruments in total, 960 of them violins. Around 650 survive today, including 450 to 512 violins. What sets them apart isn't just craft or age: musicians and collectors treat them as instruments that occupy a tier of their own, and the prices reflect it. The Latinized Stradivarius, or the shorthand Strad, became shorthand for an unattainable benchmark — the thing every maker since has chased and no one has clearly beaten.
