It won't be a Steinway anymore!

[Farrell]

Well, I'm not a violin technician, but that is what I hear. I realize that
not everything about the instrument would improve, but my understanding is
that some of the wood properties do indeed improve. My understanding is that
modern hi-quality violins really need a few years -decades? - to reach an
improved tone. Am I way off? I think at a minimum, violins are really
different from pianos in the way the age. I have never seen a 250 year old
piano play that was considered to be one of the best sounding pianos in the
world. At least gimme that - there is a big difference between the two
instruments regarding aging.
