I have been for a couple of years a person who has disregarded the Stradivarius hype about the violins as mere "Salesmen" and the only thing that makes them "Great" is the fact that they have that extra "Touch" that everyone raves.
I do not know where people get the "Ear" for these things. If you can get something to sound better then fine. Where I stop is being told is that this instrument sounds better because of this material, then I ask, why?
All the answers that I have been researching is split, scientific consensus under a blind test says their is no difference between modern and Stradivari, however, on the other hand pro players seem to say otherwise.
the main question that i want to get to, what position should be taken on material construction on instruments and in regards to pipe organs. their is all ways the choice between fine wood and price, is plywood not sufficient?
What do you think?
