This post was regarding a test conducted in 2012. I'm not saying it isn't relevant or that the reporting around the new one is good, but the study she was a part of is a different one from the study making the rounds today: http://www.pnas.org/content/early/2014/04/03/1323367111.abstract http://www.pnas.org/content/early/2014/04/03/1323367111.abst...

Yep, the one she was part of was basically a "pre-run", which allowed the run of a new, better and extended study. Here's Ed Yong's reporting on the new one, gives most of the meat and introduces the old one (and criticisms to it): http://phenomena.nationalgeographic.com/2014/04/07/stradivarius-violins-arent-better-than-new-ones-round-two/ http://phenomena.nationalgeographic.com/2014/04/07/stradivar...
