[Leica] Violins, lenses and cameras

[red735i at verizon.net (Frank Filippone)]

I remember that article....double blind test, modern won out handily.  What
I did not see is whether any of the professional musicians involved sold off
their Strads ( or other ) to use the modern violins......

Sound matters, but so does the "glitz"/intimidation/perception factor......

I remember reading recently about a blind test where modern, mass produced
violins were at least on par if not better than Stradivarius--the test
subjects were professional musicians, not just casual listeners.
