A friend of mine posted this on facebook the other day and I thought it was really interesting:

They blindfolded professional violinists and asked them to judge the violins...and the results were surprising.

I could tell. The strad had a much richer tone.

I saw that, and guessed correctly, but I liked the sound from the new violin better.

I think in any of these tests a player has to play the insrument for some time to get to know it so make it sound it's best.

I agree, though we can get used to them fairly quickly.

I could tell that the second one was the Strad for some reason I can't explain lol.

To my ears they are very close but I do hear a difference. The strad sounds a tad smoother (excuse me if I am using the wrong term) and richer on the low notes. Then again maybe its just my mind telling me so because, after all, its a Stradivarius... Ha Hah. Otherwise they both sound very beautiful/
