Scientiscts promise
.
I read a great news recently. Isn't it nice:
Swedes to build Stradivarius-like violin:-
Scientists at Mid Sweden University are using modern technology to uncover the secrets of Stradivarius violins.
The researchers are using an advanced mathematical optimization method to create a violin with the same acoustic properties as a Stradivarius instrument . . .
Nothing new here. Similar attempts occur for centuries. All those attempts are uncucessful. And the main reason for that - there is no single phenomenon that can be named as Stradivarius sound.
No doubt, there is a huge diversity of beautiful violin sounds - all slightly different. Therefore it is absolutely impossible to seek the one - absolutely special - sound.
Stradivarius - different story. I am interested in his phenomenon, so I have written several articles:
o - Stradivarius violin sound
o - Stradivarius violin maker
o - Stradivarius' innovations
o - Stradivarius' psychology
Anyway, I am very interested in these attempts.

Violin world
I am actively travelling in a violin world for well over ten years.
And I still can not stop wondering.
Probably the best violin matters were described by Mr. Gldstone:
Even the locomotive is not a greater marvel of mechanism than the violin
I tried to describe the whole (or at least part of) violin complexity in my article: Violin world.
I am so happy (or lucky) I entered this so special world.
I wish all the best to anybody trevelling this so special path
