Hmmmm. I'm suprised Gerald did not point out that quite like piano soundboards, violins improve with age!

I belong to a violin maillist and this piano list. both of them have long discussions about soundboards , and arguments about being historicaly correct versus modern techniques . The violin list has much more discussion on varnish and modal analysis of soundboard vibrations (e.g. Chladni and others) There are discussions on physics fo string motion. And much speculation about the mystery and assumed superiorority of the ancient Italian makers
