In Reply to: RE: It says that they were comparing "tonal qualities", and if so... posted by genungo on April 07, 2014 at 11:55:10
The players were told to judge each violin as if they were looking for an instrument that could best replace their own for an upcoming concert tour.
The violinist in the room next to mine at Berklee had amazing ears. We were doing some work with a keyboardist's down the hall when she said you're playing the wrong note even though his finger was on the right key. Turns out there was an adjustment on the back that allowed for the keyboard to be shifted up or down up to a whole step, in this case it was down a half.
I don't think you could get a more qualified group of people to do this.
Awesome.

The test seems flawed and the article does not provide enough info. I wish that there was more for me to read, carefully.Check out E Stat's link, posted above... ^

just that the piece wasn't written for a peer review. The mention of judging tonality was one of the criticisms laid to the previous test in that only a top rank player could do that accurately, not that the current participants were asked to judge solely on that one factor but which violin would they choose for their own....
Read the article linked in E-Stat's reply (above). Doesn't it seem to you that the cards may have been inadvertently stacked, in favor of the modern violins used for that test?Additionally, not enough info has been provided.
