 RE: million dollar clarinets--do they exist?

A recent study of several old fiddles like the Stradis was done and several things were found out. One of the things that gave those old fiddles their sound was a bacteria found in the that part of Italy that had a positive effect on the wood. Keep in mind these were litteraly hand made including the the varnishes, glues, even the chemicals (no hardware stores back then) to wash and help bend (warp) the woods into the desired shapes. The violin vertuosso Anne Frank carries around one of these that she paid 3 Million for. But then fiddles don't have years of slobber blown through them either. Check your NPR (National Public Radio) listings as they air a really informative program about this now and then.
