Re: Musicians are meddling in "OUR" arguments...........

neither of your anacdotes supports your contention that musicians hear things that can't be measured. In the first instance, you even prescribed the correct measurement: Measure the instrument's response both perpendicular to the f-hole and a couple of feet from the side of the instrument.

In the second case, you also gave a partial solution: We're comparing an aged instrument with a brand new one. I have little doubt that the Strad and the new instrument would measure different. And I would hypothesize that every Strad would have a unique signature, as well.

As a trained physicist, I would hope that your approach would be that while it is possible that musicians (and others) can hear things we can't yet measure, we need to work on determining what those things are so that we CAN measure them.
