Very interesting. And non-spoilerish.

Re: Sherlock's new violin!
What happened to the old violin then? Uh, don't tell me John sold it!

No. He placed it on his coffin.

No, the violin of series 2 knows the computer key code and is now on a witness protection scheme. In America.

John: "Have you spoken to Mycroft, Molly, uh, anyone?"
Mrs Hudson: "They don’t matter. You do."
I BELIEVE IN SERIES 5!

Re: Sherlock's new violin!
Maybe in a safe house? (Any one seen that movie by the way? Should be called 'Unsafe House'. 
)That's a house where you shout 'Vatican Cameos' as you open the front door and duck.

Don't make people into heroes John. Heroes don't exist and if they did I wouldn't be one of them.

Re: Sherlock's new violin!
That reminds me of the old violin of my great uncle. My mother has it. I think I need to visit her again soon....

Re: Sherlock's new violin!
Yes, it could get a place of honour together with the DVDs and your Sherlock statue.

I like that more too. Maybe the violin meets Irene there and they have a small chat...

The violin is about to get all its strings cut off when Sherlock jumps in in disguise and saves it.

Re: Sherlock's new violin!
Interesting, they did not try to give him a Stradivarius violin , even as a budget China copy.
I'm really frustrated about Sherlock’s modern instrument.
Mr. Holmes should have a fine Stradivarius one, bought in Tottenham Court Road for 55 shillings, although it was worth at least 500 guineas. 😉 (The Adventure of the Cardboard Box, 1892)
There could be a nice story about it!

Re: Sherlock's new violin!
Perhaps if we ever get another series? Or perhaps despite the original stories, this version of Sherlock is more practical? I know he's dramatic in a lot of ways, but maybe when it comes to the instrument it doesn't have to necessarily be the best of the best?

Re: Sherlock's new violin!
You're right perhaps.
But if we'd pay attention to all the even small details, we'd notice how precise and highly valued by the creators they are. Therefore I would expect to see an old violin at least. Imho. 😊
As I saw it the first time, I was immediately disappointed , missing this wonderful if also not too important for many detail.
Btw, thanks for your answer, Yitzock! 🙋

Re: Sherlock's new violin!
I can understand why one might make it an old one or a new one. I don't know, of course, how much or how little thought was put into the choice of instrument by the production team.
