 Re: Old or new? Violinists (and clarinetists?) can't tell

The article includes a link to the full study in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. My husband, an advanced amateur violinist who's retired from 28 years in the Environmental Protection Agency's Pesticides Division (where he read scientific studies for a living), says that study is so full of bad science that he's amazed it passed peer review to get into a journal that well-respected. He thinks the result of the study may be correct, but the methodology is poor. The person responsible for the study is not objective, for one thing -- he's a modern luthier -- and individual fiddles of all ages vary so much that it's easy to set up fiddles to enhance or detract from their playing qualities. Violinists differ a lot, too. The set of strings or the bridge that's perfect for one violinist on one violin may be all wrong for another person on the same violin or for the same person on a different violin. And the bow matters at least as much as the fiddle.
