Stradivarius violins sound better than modern violins
Progress does not stand meste
Even if you're not a fan of violin music, something about Stradivarius you've probably heard. They should be something special, different from what they would be worth millions of dollars? After all, it can not be only in the name of the master.
To start a reservation: we do not have in mind the quality of violins. All the instruments made by Antonio Stradivari, the highest quality, it has been and remains one of the best violin makers of all time. However, the modern violin makers caught up with, if not surpassed the master - not surprising, given that it has been 300 years.
A few years ago at the International Violin Competition of Indianapolis was conducted double-blind experiment: a group of professional violinists and judges came to the conclusion that a Stradivarius violin for a million dollars does not sound better than the violin, made three days ago. Of course, the test only heard the sound but did not see the tool.
When participants then asked what they would prefer to fiddle get only 8 out of the 21 st chosen instrument through which could easily pay off several loans, while the rest prefer the modern violin.
The bottom line is that even if experts on violin and historians with experience have not been able to pinpoint the difference in the sound of the instrument, then certainly we, the people in the majority did not receive musical education and are not professionals, just can not.
While many modern violin sound no worse, no better than if Stradivari, the guy who made them, never be known. I guess it's good if he could sell his tools for the price, no child from the school of music could not buy them.
