"A Stradivarius is way better than what violin makers of today build" is not what I wrote and certainly not what I meant. And yes, there's lot of hype and a lot of ill-founded aversion to contemporary technology. I'm pretty sure that if some violin maker would discover a way to use some of today's high-tech materials to build a really good violin, most of the 'well-thinking' music world would want to burn him at the stake (along with his violins). Ciao, -- FA A world of exhaustive, reliable metadata would be an utopia. It's also a pipe-dream, founded on self-delusion, nerd hubris and hysterically inflated market opportunities.
