An interesting study was conducted by American scientists - ten professional violinists were asked to scrutinise 12 violins. The test was blind - that is, the violinists did not know what violin they were holding at any given moment in time, but each was given the opportunity to play each violin for two sessions of 75 minutes - one in the studio, the other in a 300-seat concert hall. After the test, they were asked which instrument they would take instead of their current one on a hypothetical tour.
Of the 12 violins, 6 were made by great Italians - including 5 made by Stradivarius himself. The other six violins were made by modern masters.
So what did the musicians choose?
And now the result - 6 of 10 violinists have chosen modern violins. And in the individual scoring among the violins, the victory of the modern instance was even more striking. And the violinists could not reliably distinguish between old and new violins.
By the way, there is a rather old research, when they studied the influence of lacquer on the sound of old violins. Remember, in the old Soviet film "A Visit to the Minotaur" they talked a lot about the secrets of lacquers? Well, that question was solved quite a long time ago - the lacquer recipe was reproduced completely, even once they washed the lacquer off one old violin and it did not lose its sound quality at all.
Did Stradivari make the best violins?

It turns out that Stradivarius was just a hyped brand. :)
Yes, there were a lot of TV commercials for it back then.
Belgium has laid a 3-kilometre underground beer pipeline
"The amazing €4 million project has not only received full approval but also subsidies from the regional Flemish government, as it aims to save paving stones on the city's central streets. "
"In doing so, those who donate more than 7,500 euros have been promised a bottle of signature Brugse Zot every day for the rest of their lives by the company. "
2.09 x 365 = 762.85 euros per year.
In other words, the investor has to live 9.83 years, i.e. almost ten years, in order to recoup his investment of 7,500 euros in this municipal project to save the historically valuable paving stones.
Conclusion: babies should also be allowed as investors in investment projects.
I'm going to get some herring. I feel like eating.
Yes, they used to air his commercials a lot on TV back then.
In the 16th-17th century there wasn't even a radio, let alone a TV set.
If the message "Yes, they often showed his commercials on TV back then." is taken seriously, that's a sign of lack of sense of humor. But since one visits this thread, all is not yet lost).
If you look carefully at my first comment, there's a smiley icon at the end :) it's called.
This form of communication does not allow emotions to be conveyed, for which purpose smiley faces were invented. If a man wants to make a joke, he puts a smiley face. Otherwise, this response to the joke can be seen as a joke.
