What would Stradivari ask us here in MAESTRONET?
Here some possibilities: 1 - What is mineral ground? 2- What is a catenary? 3 - What is plate tuning? 4 - What is mode 1 and 5? 5 - Why some of you spring the bar? 6 - Why so many scientific researchs about my simple and humble work? 5 - Why there are so many soloists playing violins by Catarina Guarneri? 6 - What do I do with my Omobono? How can I make him work? 7 - What is damping? 8 - Are nanoparticles dangerous? 9 - Who are these Hills? How can they criticize my violas in such way? 10 - Do you know something more profitable today than violin making? -------------------- |

stradivari has been warned by his peers to stay away from maestronet if he wants to get any work done....

I saw the new Sherlock Holmes movie last night, which wasn’t as awful as I had been told.
Anyway, there was one line, uttered by the Dr. Watson character, that reminded me of many Maestronet threads; I have willingly participated in some of them. But in light of Manfio’s thread here, I can imagine Stradivari saying it. “It looks like he was attempting to combine some kind of sorcery and scientific formula.” -------------------- |

Your questions make assumptions he may not understand: 1 - Do you use water-derived stuff? 2- Where is your recurve placed, why? 3- Do you wrap a plate to adjust for stiffness? 4- Do you hear more than one pitch if you do this 5. Does not apply, not for short bars. 6 We are curious.... 7- What most makes your violins sound like throwing a rug over them 8. Are you worried about health, or do you let apprentices do the dangerous things 9. Do you use the same "principles" to make a viola as a violin ? Are violists as fussy as violinists? Are violinists fussy, for that matter? 10- Are you a sharp businessman? Or just a sincere craftsman? |

Strad would probably ask us why we are still making violins and remind us that his iphone alternative is outselling the Apple product 3 to 1.

Strad might ask for: a pair of sneakers, a UV drying box, and the latest copy of a power tools catalog.
