a strad is a lot harder to come by, just saying.

You make a good point - but since even trained violinists can't always tell a Strad from a modern instrument, I think I'd still go for the cat! ;-)
Whereas a Strad in original condition would look very different to a violinist, and would feel quite different to play, no? Let alone that the original bow would be another give away.
IIRC the tests (there were two?) asked the musicians to state which one they'd prefer to play. So it would be feel and sound alone to each player. And, I don't think they were told one was a Strad, or to pick out the old one, wouldn't be a proper test then, would it?
Give them a Jacobus Stainer from the Smithsonian, maybe?

. . . I might go carbon fiber myself:

But as a keyboarder, I just have to content myself with the Godowsky transcriptions!
(BTW, I think you're right - something was funny with the way they asked the questions on the Strad test(s).)
is how few people know how to THINK properly, and are unwilling to get to the nub of things.
And, conversely for the majority that's probably what irritates people about me!
Viz. You an I recognise a 'liberal' slant in each other? Well, at the end of that course up on Manly Head (North Head) in Sydney for volunteer emergency leaders? I was given a mock scroll by all the others.
Somehow it got lost or 'I've put it somewhere safe.' ;-) ? so this is a paraphrase.
