1. - 4.  Stainers are reputed to be magnificent chamber music violins, but Strads and GDG's overall are supposed to support any soloist's tricks you care to indulge in, while having the projection to reach people in the back of the balcony, once you're used to the quirks of a particular instrument.

Some Stradivaris and Guerneris do stuff like that, and a lot of them don't.

Thanks, you'd know.  All I can go from is what I've read or been told, plus the handful I've heard played.  None of those were "dogs", as near as I could tell.

Thanks for the paper Marty and obviously Anders for the study.I attached a picture of a page of the paper I hope that is ok. If not someone let me know. I found the circled area rather interesting.
