There are employees at the Stradivarius Museum whose job it is to take these magnificent instruments out of their cases and play them, usually two or three times a year. Apparently they lose tone if they are not played. To paraphrase, "A Stradivarius is safe in a museum, but that is not what they are for."

The Stradivarius is exquisite but it is the master violinist that brings her to life. A beautiful combination.

@billlembke1768

It is not any better than any other violin. People say it is better or the best so that they appear to be more cultured, knowledgeable, or an expert. It is like when says a very expensive bottle of wine is the best, until they find the fake label is actually on a cheap bottle. There is little or no difference in quality, just the perceived value. For the violin, you could polish a very inexpensive one, make up a detailed story, and say the value is $100 million. Many self-proclaimed experts would agree to promote their own identity, showing how shallow they are, and not suffocated.

​@@billlembke1768 you would be right if we were talking about a master crafted modern violin. Those are often chosen above Strads in blind tests in terms of sound. But it is very, very different from lower quality student instruments. There certainly is a lot of snobbery and adherence to tradition in the classical music world, but to say a Strad doesn't sound better than other violin just isn't true. It is worth noting that these are also centuries old instruments that have been cared for and maintained to remain playable in the modern era. Their value isn't solely for their sound, they are also pieces of history.

Those notes do not sound the same on a regular violin, and if I had to guess a reason it would be the chamber of the violin. I think it’s perfectly shaped in such a way that it allows the sound to echo out from inside at almost the same frequency and strength. Incredible.

And I swear, she appeared to be suspended in air an inch or two off the floor magically as the music flowed through her. She even provided truffles she just brought back from her UK tour, & wine & autographed glossy's to her meet & greet afterwards. Best show of my life!
