The results could surprise you!<\/p>\n<p>Undoubtedly, a sample size of 21 is relatively small. Individual variations amongst the violinists and the instruments would be well nigh impossible to standardise.\u00a0To what extent can\u00a0these findings be\u00a0extrapolated?\u00a0It remains to be seen whether\u00a0these outcomes\u00a0will create any waves in the value of the market and insurance value of master crafted violins.<\/p>\n<p>Violin making\u00a0is an art. Professor Fritz has attempted to bring scientific rigour to evaluating what has previously been in the realm of the subjective. Her research may well lead to substantial beliefs\u00a0being dispelled.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.smh.com.au\/entertainment\/music\/stradivarius-may-be-bit-of-a-fiddle-at-more-than-1m-say-researchers-20120103-1pjk2.html\">http:\/\/www.smh.com.au\/entertainment\/music\/stradivarius-may-be-bit-of-a-fiddle-at-more-than-1m-say-researchers-20120103-1pjk2.html<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Read the abstract from the proceedings at the US National Academy of Sciences: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.pnas.org\/content\/early\/2012\/01\/02\/1114999109.abstract\">http:\/\/www.pnas.org\/content\/early\/2012\/01\/02\/1114999109.abstract<\/a><\/p>\n<p>SdeS<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Sydney Morning Herald reports on experiment conducted by a researcher at the University of Paris which casts doubt on the\u00a0superior qualities&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":6047,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"sls_format":[],"class_list":["post-6045","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"acf":{"deck":"","is_featured":false,"media_type":"standard","audio_embed":"","video_url":""},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.2 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Science evaulates the art of of the violinmaker - with surprising results!
