Let'’’s play this piece.

Absolutely, we can play this piece.

But, before, we have to show you something.

because it'’’s a little surprise.

Okay.

Because Julio de Caro was so famous that the RCA Victor label gave him a special gift -- a special violin that he used for all his famous recordings, which is the violín-corneta.

Wow, this is bizarre.

I going to swap you.

Have you ever seen one of these?

I've never -- I've never seen this before.

Should I try a little bit?

Please.

♪♪ I mean, it's so strange because I feel like I'm playing a brass instrument.

It's so strange.

It's like a child's fairytale, you know, half zebra, half alligator or something.

That's what this is.

Absolutely, absolutely.

It's like the lovechild of a trumpet and a violin.

[Laughs] All right, I'’’m going to put this down and let'’’s play some music.

Yeah, let'’’s do it.
