The end of the video alluded to the possible answer. I'm more than certain that it has a subconscious effect on the musician such that it brings out the that certain je ne sais quoi in the music. They are respectful of the instrument's history and origin as well as its inherent quality. Thus they play with a respect and a sense of confidence as well as perhaps a willingness to push the envelope.

Timber that grew, and can't be recreated in any other way, by growing slowly for several centuries during Europe's "cool period" during the middle ages. Seriously, it didn't dawn on the journalist making this piece to question why no one else can build a "Strad" that sounds the exact same? Good job Vox :(

HarryIsTheGamingGeek Actually, the older a violin is, and especially the more it’s been played, the more the wood has been vibrated through sound, effectively “opening” the instrument and bringing out more overtones and a richer color. Newer instruments are obviously made of newer, less flexible wood, and are usually far less expensive. This newer wood has not been vibrated as much, and therefore produces a less colorful and rich sound than the older strads (or older instruments in general)

Stradivarius made really exceptional violins for his day which built up a reputation that probably creates a self-fulfilling prophecy or placebo of sorts. Music really needs emotion to "sound" good. A machine can play notes, but a human performs music. I think it's the emotional connection that these instruments give and their stories/legacies that affects the performance of the musician, not so much the craft of the instrument.

It's not entirely the case. It can be also just marketing. Pretty much of the stuff from Italy were valued very high by the way, and it's often that in the same field there're a bunch of the good masters, but you'll probably hear about few of them or even about one. It even works today, in the Internet era, where there is kinda all possibilities for everyone to be known. So, I don't say anything about Strads, but basically that there were probably more masters that we don't know. They're just not rated. It's like it was with J. S. Bach until the certain time or Van Gogh while he lived. How many talents we actually missed?

I've heard a Strad being played in comparison to a $50 Aldi-branded violin. There is a difference between the handcrafted Strad and the mass produced Aldi, but it's no different to my ear than any other quality hand crafted violin. Besides, actual Baroque period Strads are a showcase of how _dismal_ manufacturing was back then. They use nails -- NAILS!!! -- to secure the neck. Modern violin construction uses a dovetail joint which is more secure and easier to tune since it's less prone to warping of the neck. I like Strads from a historical standpoint, but the actual instrument is nothing more than a very early "modern" style of violin, albeit still with almost archaic construction techniques.

That serves as one explanation. However, they neglected the second explanation, which should've been about WHY the Stradivarius is so historically significant, for points such as what Ccmusic mentioned.

That's because the livelihood of lumber companies rely on dependability of wood being able to grow at a rapid and even pace, which they normally don't in the wild due to seasonal changes. However, I'd assume that ice-age tree rings are narrowly spaced and even, while tree farm rings are widely spaced and even. So maybe that changes things. All speculation here!

I have a 50 year old amazing violin, made right here in Bangladesh by a small violin maker at a town my grandfather used to live in. This violin was his pride, according to my father he always bragged about this being his masterpiece, how each seperate part of the violin was made from the very finest wood he could find. And it was made for my grandfather who, according to him, was the greatest violin player of our country. I won't trade this violin for any stradivarius in the world. This is more priceless than anything else in the world. And since both the maker and the violinist are both dead, it's their greatest legacy they left behind. ...but I'm still stumped for words when people ask me what violin do I use.

And Damascus is not necessarily better, it's a "blend" of alloys that can actually ruin the blade if its not made with expertise. today it's used because of its artistic value . in the past it was a parameter of good steel, but that was due to the quality of alloys available for forging. blacksmiths from middle east and India (mogol empire as the Portuguese called them) used that because it was beautiful and improved certain characteristics.

There is a theory that Stradivarius violins sound different because of a sudden cold period in Italy that made the wood more dense and so the quality of sound better, and why their particular tone has been impossible to replicate.

I read once that Stradivari used an especific type of wood together with apple oil to coat his violins, what causes to change the ressonance and tone of the instruments he made. If sounds better or not, at least it has a personality. And its value today has more to do with rarity and history than with acoustics.
@TheVergile6 жыл бұрын
just the first 10 things that come to my mind that Stradivarius´ success has been attributed to: 1) rafted woods 2) high trace element concentration in the soil due to volcanic activity 3) low pollutant concentration in the air due to pre-industrialization time 4) all kinds of special oils in his varnishes 5) goat blood in his varnish 6) underage virgin menstrual blood in his varnish (no joke) 7) very rare bone glue used in the joinery 8) secret and unknown solvent used for his shellac 9) unknown and super rare locally sourced subspecies of spruce used for his soundboards 10) special honey based pre-finish treatment step of his woods that we don't do nowadays. At least once a year somebody writes an article about "uncovering the secret of Stradivarius luthiery", but also twice a year a new study or meta study that shows there is not even a secret, because they basically sound not that much different to other violins once you stop telling people what instrument they are hearing. Its called bias.

Like the blind tests have shown, Stradivari violins don't actually sound better than a let's say $50'000 modern violin, but then of course the whole history behind those violins and the fact that they are so special can give players a mental and motivational and creative boost and help them to reach new hights...

Some yrs ago I attended a concert during which Janine Jansen played the Britten violin concerto on her Stradivarius. She broke a string, quickly exchanged her instrument for that of the concertmaster and finished the concert on it, without missing a beat (nerves of steel). A difference between day and night: the Stradivarius bright, lighting up the hall with its clear sound, a born solist; the concertmasters instrument dark and husky, a member of the team. Don't care about all these 'scientific double blind' tests, I trust my ears.
@michaelcaplin89693 жыл бұрын
That has literally NOTHING to do with it being a Stradivari instrument or not. It has to do with the role of the concertmaster vs. the role of the soloist. The concertmaster may well own or have a Strad or Guarneri on long term loan him/herself, but not use it because it doesn't perform well for the role of the concertmaster. You can't have the loudest instrument on stage and be the concertmaster, it doesn't work like that. They need to have a certain sound in their instrument for the ensemble to work well together, and let the soloist "pop". Also, of the 650 Strads left, only about 400 are good enough for soloist work, the rest are violins that would work better in an orchestra pit together with other violins, in other words, nothing special. And almost all of them had to be more or less completely rebuilt to be able to sound loud enough for soloist work. Truth is, the Stradivaris you hear Joshua Bell and other play on aren't actually Stradivari's instruments. They are 50% Stradivaris work, and 50% the work of which ever luthier rebuilt them in the 19th century. So to actually hear what a REAL Stradivari sounds like, you can't do it by listening to Strads played by famous players. In fact, I think there is only 1 or 2 Strads in existence that are close to original (rebuilt, but then rebuilt back into original form). Not even the Messiah (never really played) is Stradivaris original work.
@t.vanoosterhout2333 жыл бұрын
Hi, thanks for your extensive answer! I would expect a violist to choose an instrument that matches his or her role in ensemble playing, that produces a preferred tone quality and that 'speaks' to him or her as a close partner. I think what you say is that there are plenty other instruments less famous (and less expensive) that perform as well or better than the Strad in that particular role. I am not sufficiently knowledgeable in this matter to disagree (or, for that matter, agree) with you with assurance. I'll leave the choice to the actual musician. All I can say with certainty is that I heard the difference in tone character. And, of course, the supreme musicianship of Jansen who was able to make Britten sound like a hot, exciting composer!

this is similar to the mystique of the '58, '59, and '60 Gibson les Paul "bursts". Like the Strad, the les Pauls output a superior tone to any other guitar made, so its said as I havent ever played one, but plan to. To a non musician, the Bursts and Strads seem pointless to purchase because you can buy "similar" instruments, but you aren't neccesarilly paying for the sound, I mean of course you are, but you pay for the name, the legend, looks and reputation and lots more.

Vox ,People talk about stuff they do not understand or know anything about. Why is an old and used Ferrari Dino worth more than a new Ferrari? The new Ferrari is even faster, but it is worth less. No one would be dumb enough to trade a Stradivarius with a new Yamaha violin, even though the Yamaha is a perfectly fine instrument. The Stradivari is NOT just about quality, although the quality is guaranteed to be very high, but it is NOT only about quality. The Stradivari is an antique item and a very rare one, made by a luthier that was the best around even then, and who today is legendary. It is a piece of history. But you can find the Yamaha in any good music shop. What would you have, a painting of Van Gogh or the painting of a living painter? An original score by Mozart or one by a living composer? The living composer might be a fantastic musician, but Mozart is a legend, and for very good reasons. Stradivari isn't different, he is a legend today for very good reasons, and it is your fault if you do not know why, go learn your music history, will take you years. Who says that it is only about " quality" ? You mention "quality" because you know nothing better about musical instruments. It is like saying that a colour modern painting is better than a black and white sketch made by Da Vinci just because there's colours in the other painting. It is Da Vinci, It is Stradivari, not Yamaha, Sony or Panasonic :) if you just want a good violin buy a Yamaha, if you want a very special item and legendary violin, buy the Stradivari. And besides, it is a killer investment too, which the Yamaha is not, you brilliant, worldwide renowned experts ;)

"Are they worth it?" When talking about a multi million dollar instrument the answer to that question is alway no. Even if Stradivarius violins where actually better than any of its competitors the massive jump in price for a likely miniascule jump in quality would not be worth it from a monetary point of view. But I absoluetely love the fact that here we have these 300 year old, extremely valuable pieces of craftsmanship and instead of letting them collect dust in some museum or private collection we are still using them for the purpose they where built for and giving them to the best and most renown musicians as a sort of symbol of their achievements and status. A great instrument that is no longer played is no longer all that great. So any 300 year old violin that still plays music is a great thing to hear, even if it doesn't sound any better than a far cheaper modern instrument.
