The holy grail of sound
Article Abstract:
It is now widely recognized that it is not possible to exactly reproduce the sonic colour, tone and dynamics of a violin, viola or cello produced in the late 17th century or early 18th century by Antonio Stradivari. There is only limited information about how Stradivari worked and the materials he used. Furthermore, a modern instrument, however well made, cannot have the same distortions as an old one. Each instrument is unique, and it is never possible to exactly replicate an old master's instrument.
