Seems some of the magic of Stradivari violins lies in certain chemical treatments used in the woods back then. More in the NYT science section today:

About Me

PatrickD: Long term music lover, always buying new music and investing in gear for long-term satisfaction. Educated in experimental methods, I don't believe everything we hear can be measured yet but I do believe blind testing can help put the claims in perspective and I bring this to bear in my reviews for AudioMatter and HiFi'Zine, which I help edit. Am grown up, have a real career, own a house, go to live music and play an instrument. Have a music library of more than 4000 recordings on vinyl and (SA)CD. I don't do home theater or surround sound. Believe music is a natural stimulant. Am studying and publishing research on the nature of music as human information need. I write - and I take writing seriously. If you want to know more, ask me.
