And what's with these outrageous prices for Stradivarii, when you can get a perfectly good violin at Sam's for $64.95, with case and a bow thrown in? Now the double bass is a different matter, of course, although I can't for the life of me understand why orchestras need both the double bass and cellos. After all, they all sound the same. |
Unregistered guest | Is this kind of like Affirmed vs. Alydar? I think not because the human interpretation of sound just isn't as readily quantifiable. Opinions make the horse race which is great; we actually wind up with an undeniable defining moment. Too bad, ain't so with the crazy hobby of sound, audio and opinions. And so it goes: https://www.ecoustics.com/electronics/forum/home-audio/135998.html |

Unregistered guest | Surprise. Opinions vary on that inimitable sound of your Stradivari. http://agnews.tamu.edu/dailynews/stories/BICH/Sep2203a.htm Based on your Stradivari (I own the other 599), how did the sound, precisely, compare to Mr. Walton's axe? |
