	The Greatest Violinist Niccolo Paganini
		Paganini gave the name "Cannon" to the model because of its explosive sound which reminded him of that particular weapon.
		He came to use Guarnerius violins as a result of his gambling addiction: He once lost a highly valuable Amati violin at the betting tables, and an amateur violinist allowed him to use his own Guarneri violin.
		At his death, his Cannone Guarnerius violin was given to the city of Genoa, where it is still housed in the Palazzo Tursi Museum.
