I can't tell if you're serious or not.
How is that a reasonable suspicion? You think that no professional violinist has ever played a modern instrument? Has never made a comparison to a Stradivarius? The idea that music is "far worse" than it would have been if people were using modern violins is just laughable.
- Retric 9y agoAhh, but fashion is pervasive. When people assume something should be better they perceive it as better. Further modern instrument design is designed to appeal to people that are so influenced. Thus, modern instruments also suffer from the same effect and we need blind evaluation to create more objective assessments across generations of musicians and instruments. Much like how hiding the musicians physical apreace changes how people rate them.
