A432 Posted August 15, 2019 Report Share Posted August 15, 2019 VdA : Come on now -- not you too ! The Hill quote was about how difficult they found it to sell even a fine-toned earlier Strad to a customer who believed that higher than minimal arching was proof of inferiority.

The term came, ultimately, from performers -- from Joseph Joachim in particular. Hill and Hart both obsessed about tone, as did performers. Had they created that term to sell fiddles, it would have been applied to the productions of 1670-1698 (and 1720 to the end). Go back and Read the Hill book on Stradivari complaining of how difficult it was trying to sell a Strad when the architecture of it did not display "a certain apparent flatness -- an impartial trial of its tone being out of the question. The eye has decided." (quote from memory) A432, ONE HUNDRED AND ELEVEN PAGES of this thread happened before you even joined Maestronet. We all breathed a massive sigh of relief when it fizzled out.

A432 Posted August 15, 2019 Report Share Posted August 15, 2019 My takeaway : Everything there is to be known/understood is already known/understood. Everything there is to be said has already been said. Rendering anything else superfluous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
