As the stories go it is said they have acutely trained ears for hearing
subtle variations in sound. Here is a test of violins and those who play
them that is also a test of that notion.

No, it's not.

A hotel room? Not an appropriate place to test what it is that makes a
Strad a Strad: subtle tonal differences in a performance hall, and the
projection power across all frequency ranges and timbres in such a hall.

Which one would you rather take home? This brings into question the
issue of playability, set up, strings, familiarity, etc.

Then there is the issue of which specific instruments are used. Not all
Strads or Guarneris or Costcos are equal, obviously.

I'm surprised that those here who preach about biased tests in audio
aren't all over this.
