Numerology in the structure of the Violoncello

A relative told me 2 years ago that according to the Old Testament, the body of Lucifer, the Angel of Light, the one who was cast out of Heaven for wanting to be more than God, contains musical instruments. One of his tasks in Heaven before this fateful happening, which according to Christian tradition was the cause of the polar duality of good and evil, was to entertain God musically. After extensive research I still have not located this passage in the Bible, but it sure makes an interesting story. Here are some "before and after" pictures of him:


Links to pages about the Isenheim Altar: 1 | 2

From Grünewald's Isenheim Altar in Colmar, France, 30 km from where I studied in Freiburg. This angel holds the bow in a totally impossible position. It would be impossible to play the cello holding the bow in this way.

If only he did not say that he wanted to be more than God! If he had said that he wanted to be equal to God, maybe this would not have happened to him. At least he learnt to hold the cello bow properly!

I did however find quite a few Christian web sites that ask the question whether instrumental music is inspired by Satan. And as in the case of my relative, there are actually people who consider the validity of such a question. Here are a few screen captures from some of these sites:


JV: If one were to believe this text
(as I can imagine Medieval church fathers used to)
then people who make love, give blow jobs,
prostitutes and musicians are Satanists!
One can only hope that there are very few people
out there today who would take this ancient quote literally.


JV: If this were true,
there are a lot of Satanists in symphony orchestras!

From: Musical Instruments from Satan to Worship Him?

From the same site.

I read this passage from Revelation 18:22 in context and it does actually list the "harpists and musicians, flute players and trumpeters" as the very first in the list of people that will receive God's judgment when Babylon (a symbol of all evil things) will be destroyed before the Second Coming of Christ. Quite amusing, I must say, though I am sure that good Christian musicians do not go to hell! There you have it: I have sold my soul to Satan and will experience a rude awakening in hell! This is ultimate proof that I am indeed the Antichrist!


So here is the numerology of my evil instrument, the cello, the one object that keeps me sane in a seemingly insane world, my most valuable and cherished possession that has lured me away from Biblical truth and conned me out of Eternal Life.

The cello contains 2 sets of 2 letters, which are in balance with each other (the one being a mirror-image of the other). They are the two f-holes and the two "c"s. The "c"s are on the outer sides of the f-holes and form part of the outer framework, looking from the front or back. F is the sixth letter and C is the third letter. 6+6+3+3=18(9). The 4 strings of the cello are from the bottom C, G, D and A: 3+7+4+1=15(6) the natural and easiest key of the cello is C major. C major one could also regard as the most balanced key, because it does not contain any sharps or flats (on the piano this means that it does not contain any of the black keys of the keyboard). The instruments that look most like a human being is the Double Bass (English for the Italian word Violone) and the Violoncello (literally "small violone" - cello is actually a diminutive). My nickname from my cello teacher in Freiburg, was "Der Kleine", "The small one" because I was the youngest in his class. Not only does the cello resemble the human body in its basic shape, but the balanced symmetry of the human body is mirrored in the structure of the cello.

The A on the double bass is tuned at 110Hz and the cello is tuned an octave above at 220Hz. 11 and 22 are both power numbers in numerology. My cello, I call Destiny, was built in 1991, the second to last palindrome year, also the same year as my first bipolar experience. My previous cello I got when I was 16 years old, I called "Noodlotina", my own feminine derivative of the Afrikaans word for "fate".
