  • It was obvious from start the Violin1 was darker richer (mellower, heart opening sound, typical of older instruments)
    Violin2 though a really nice instrument (would be interesting when it is also a few 10s of years old!) but it definitely lacks the depth of tone and color, though a slightly broader spectrum in the mid range, making it sound a bit fuller. But more shrill... very obvious signature next to the real Strad.
    And we are only listening through a recorded media with compromised fidelity!!!
    Surprising to me too that those blind tests attendees sometimes couldn't tell!!! I guess their conclusions are good for the makers of newer Violins.
