In Reply to: Question, would a Stradivarius violin that sold for 2.4 million, measure differently than say a desent $1,000 one? posted by gme109 on April 4, 2007 at 06:40:53:
whereas the $1000 violin will start falling apart (musically speaking) fairly soon. That's what my friend, professional violin player told me. As to 'measurements', what is that exactly you're going to measure? The spectral characteristics of a sound? They are frozen in time and never reflect the real dynamic. How do you measure the interaction between the instrument and the player? That's another thing about the quality instrument, Stard including: predictability of the response. You don't have to adjust the way you play every time you play. I don't play violin, but I used to play piano, and I know very well the different between the top quality piano like Steinway or Bechstein. The same things. It holds wall, needs minimal tuning, and when you sit in front of, say, Steinway, you can just go ahead and start playing. You know what to expect.
