First, apologies to all for breaking my own rules by including a quote of the previous message (still happening too frequently!)



I did it to demonstrate that Gesine's reply (she broke the rule too...) does contain the one message from the digest!  Gesine, is it possible that you just forgot to scroll down?

.of course assuming that both models are of good quality.







If found the following references:







*       The joke between Gustav Leonhardt & Martin Skowronec

(https://www.jstor.org/stable/4149034)

*       Guitars made from paper instead of exotic woods (Dutch only:

http://www.standaard.be/cnt/dmf20170412_02830949)

*       Stradivarius versus the modern violin

(https://www.thestrad.com/blind-tested-soloists-unable-to-tell-stradivarius-

violins-from-modern-instruments/994.article)







Does anybody know more references where musicians were unable to tell the difference between an good historical instrument & a modern one?







Have a nice week,







Chris.
