Generalizations about sound and causes

[Michael Darnton]

I look at it another way: there are any number of ways to mess up having made a good violin; start with 100 points, and score downwards from there. Will good wood save you if everything else is wrong? Of course not. Get more things right than the average and you will have a better than average violin.
