Otherwise they all could tell by the different feel, string-tension, a shorter & flatter neck, a lower bridge, stiffer bass-bar and ribs inside, too. ....... And, by their original sound.

Strads (most) respond well to these modernisations, most other early violins just didn't. Many were ruined.

LBNL I'd be betting the probability of type 2 error here - with the second larger trial - will be well above 50%. Making the test effectively useless. ? Not enough trials.

And I'll also bet that you won't get Fritz to tell you what beta was. he probably doesn't know or care, but he should.

If you tried to sell me a strengthened Louis XV chair - to take say late 19c human's weights - I'd not be paying much - neither would anyone else. Even if you couldn't see the modifications.

But you can see them with violins, violas and cellos.

You will find that the originality rule applies everywhere else but with certain members of the violin family.
