Why can't a modern violin be as good as the one made by a master violin maker 200 years ago?

Ancient Italian luthier Stradivarius, Guarneri, Amati made the violin sound excellent, mainly its accompanied by the resonance of the main sound is extremely rich. Factors affecting the tone include the shape of the violin body, the thickness of the various parts of the board, the panel and the material of the back plate, whether after a long period of correct performance of the vibration of the grinding, the dry state of the wood, and the dry state of the wood is a superior ancient violin is an important reason for the fact has been proved, even if modern imitation of the violin and the Stradivarius, Guarneri, Amati shape of the board thickness is exactly the same, but also can not achieve the sound of the ancient violin, the sound of the ancient violin. According to foreign scholars, this is mainly due to the ancient qin wood has a special microporous structure.

At that time, Italy's Claremont is a piano center, the required wood from the river put wood rows to the sea, wood soaked in water, fished ashore after cutting into the appropriate size, sold to the piano maker, the Italian piano maker's tradition is that the wood should be naturally dry, often grandpa into the material, the grandchildren only with, and thus the wood drying has been quite good, especially after the soaking of the timber, the drying process to form a well-developed microporous structure. The wood has been dried quite well. The development of modern transportation business, has been basically do not need to put the form of wood rows, and wood storage time is generally 10 ~ 30 years that is made, so it can not be comparable with the ancient qin, even if the imitation is generally no different.
