brownie Posted December 5, 2009 Report Posted December 5, 2009 From the New York Times: What Exalts Stradivarius? Not All Stradivariuses Were Created Equal Quote
AllenLowe Posted December 5, 2009 Report Posted December 5, 2009 I read that - has anyone here actually ever done an a/b with two violins including a Strad? I'll bet they all sound the same. Quote
Brad Posted December 5, 2009 Report Posted December 5, 2009 Interesting articles. Thanks for posting. Slightly off topic but a few years ago the Times ran a fascinating series on how Steinway makes its pianos. Quote
AllenLowe Posted December 5, 2009 Report Posted December 5, 2009 well, I figure an instrument is worth the wood it's made from and the labor it takes to make it. The rest is capitalist speculation. (at least that's what I learned - sort of - from Murmur of the Heart) - Quote
Shrdlu Posted December 6, 2009 Report Posted December 6, 2009 Does anyone remember the Spike Jones recording of a Strad going through a kitchen garbage disposal? Quote
Sundog Posted January 4, 2010 Report Posted January 4, 2010 Another interesting theory I recently became aware of... European Mini Ice Age Responsible For Tonal Qualities Of the Stradivaris? Quote
