Έκανες πολύ καλά που έφερες τα Stradivarius ως παράδειγμα, διότι:Ο Στραντιβάρι δεν γνώριζε Χημεία. Το ξύλο που χρησιμοποιούσε ήταν πάνω-κάτω το ξύλο που χρησιμοποιούσαν όλοι οι κατασκευαστές βιολιών στην Κρεμόνα - δεν παράγγελναν τότε οι άνθρωποι εξωτικά υλικά από την άλλη άκρη του κόσμου - και όλα τα βιολιά της Κρεμόνα είναι ονομαστά για τον ήχο τους. Οι σημερινοί επιστήμονες έχουν αναλύσει τα βιολιά του Στραντιβάρι από κάθε άποψη. Κάνουν υποθέσεις: Μιλούν για το βερνίκι, για τη διαδικασία των στρώσεων του βερνικιού πάνω στο ξύλο, έχουν καταφέρει να κατασκευάσουν απομιμήσεις υψηλού επιπέδου, αλλά απομιμήσεις. Το μυστικό τους διαφεύγει.
Ακόμα και έτσι ωστόσο, αν κάποιος κατασκευαστής βιολιού όπως ο Ennemoser http://www.ennemoser.com/c37theory.html χρησιμοποιήσει ένα ειδικό βερνίκι, ισχυριζόμενος πως βελτιώνει τον ήχο του οργάνου του, κανείς δεν θα τον κατηγορήσει. Αν ο ίδιος άνθρωπος το συστήσει για την αλοιφή του ξύλου ενός ηχείου ή ενός cd για τους ίδιους λόγους, θα βρει απέναντί του, τους Ηρακλείς του Ορθού Λόγου που θα ισχυριστούν πως η Επιστήμη τον έχει ήδη διαψεύσει.
"Comparisons in sound quality
Above all, these instruments are famous for the quality of sound they produce. However, the many blind experiments from 1817[33][34] to the present (as of 2014[2][35][1]) have never found any difference in sound between Stradivari's violins and high-quality violins in comparable style of other makers and periods, nor has acoustic analysis.[36][37] In a particularly famous test on a BBC Radio 3 programme in 1977, the violinists Isaac Stern and Pinchas Zukerman and the violin expert and dealer Charles Beare tried to distinguish between the "Chaconne" Stradivarius, a 1739 Guarneri del Gesú, an 1846 Vuillaume, and a 1976 British violin played behind a screen by a professional soloist. The two violinists were allowed to play all the instruments first. None of the listeners identified more than two of the four instruments. Two of the listeners identified the 20th-century violin as the Stradivarius.[38] Violinists and others have criticized these tests on various grounds such as that they are not double-blind (in most cases), the judges are often not experts, and the sounds of violins are hard to evaluate objectively and reproducibly.[37][39]
In a test in 2009, the British violinist Matthew Trusler played his 1711 Stradivarius, said to be worth two million U.S. dollars, and four modern violins made by the Swiss violin-maker Michael Rhonheimer [de]. One of Rhonheimer's violins, made with wood that the Empa (Swiss Federal Laboratories for Materials Science and Technology) researcher Francis Schwarze had treated with fungi, received 90 of the 180 votes for the best tone, while the Stradivarius came second with 39 votes. The majority (113) of the listeners misidentified the winning violin as the Stradivarius.[40] Analysis of the treated wood revealed a reduction in density, accompanied by relatively little change in the speed of sound. According to this analysis, treatment improves the sound radiation ratio to the level of cold-climate wood considered to have superior resonance.[41]
In a double-blind test in 2012[42][43] published in the study "Player preferences among new and old violins",[35] expert players could not distinguish old from new instruments by playing them for a short time in a small room.[44] In an additional test, performed in a concert hall, one of the Stradivarius violins placed first, but one of the participants stated that "the audience in the concert hall were essentially equivocal on which instruments were better in each of the pair-wise instrument comparisons" and "I could tell slight differences in the instruments... but overall they were all great. None of them sounded substantially weaker than the others"[42] Modern violins were rated as having better sound-carrying qualities and were preferred again in a study in 2017.[45][1]
While many world-class soloists play violins by Antonio Stradivari, there are notable exceptions. For example, Christian Tetzlaff formerly played "a quite famous Strad", but switched to a violin made in 2002 by Stefan-Peter Greiner. He states that the listener cannot tell that his instrument is modern, and he regards it as excellent for Bach and better than a Stradivarius for "the big Romantic and 20th-century concertos."[46]

-- Όπως βλέπεις, οι συγκρίσεις στα περίφημα όργανα γίνονται με blind test ή με double blind test κι όχι μόνο από τους ειδικούς/οργανοποιούς αλλά από τους ίδιους τους βιρτουόζους αλλά και το κοινό. Τρομερά ενδιαφέροντα τα αποτελέσματα και οι συνέπειές τους.
