It looks and sounds like a normal high end viola. What's up with the price tag? Does it use alien technology or is the wood used no longer available in our universe?

its expensive cause of this

"The Macdonald" was crafted by Antonio Stradivari in 1719, during the master's "golden period," and is one of only two Strad violas still in private hands. It was named for the 3rd Baron Macdonald, Godfrey Bosville, who acquired it in the 1820s.

It was being sold by the estate of Peter Schidlof, co-founder of the Amadeus Quartet who acquired it in 1964 and died in 1987.
"The finest of all the violas is generally agreed to be 'The Macdonald' of 1719," Tim Ingles, director of the London-based fine instruments auction house Ingles & Hayday, said in a video on Sotheby's website.

About 600 instruments made by the Cremonese master survive, but only 10 are violas, said Ingles, whose company conducted the sale with Sotheby's.

It was made by a guy centuries ago, and people think it sounds different than other violins even though its probably shitier than newer ones
