"Science has not provided any convincing evidence for the existence or otherwise of any measurable property that would set the Cremonese instruments apart from the finest violins made by skilled craftsman today."It seems like it comes down to being a subjective quality in the end, just like our audio systems, and requires the use of two ears.
The spectrum of the sound of a particular note played on two different instruments is easily measurable and it is different...even between two strads.
not pine.And pine is not used for the sides, either. I'm fairly sure they're maple as well.
Should we let the modern violin break in for a number of centuries?
HWD and weight will all be the same. And these are the "important" measurements engineers can agree on.
