General audio topics that don't fit into specific categories.

there is a difference, is there not, between maintenance and modification?

Some of the old violins have been maintained, But most have been modified.

The latter ones sound different and many don't sound very good at all, thanks to the modifications, to which they were not suited.

Stainers are the best example of the ruined type.

These were made on the other side of the Alps and were sensibly treasured. E.g. by JS Bach and his family, and by the Mozarts.
