I know that they had different characters on that day, played by that

violin.
It makes sense, but I don't know it to be true.

Oh, it's absolutely true. Strings on any stringed instrument make a
huge difference.



Then it is entirely possible for these three: Stradivarious, Amati, Gurneri
to sound quite different from one another by virtue of the strings
themselves, and not just because of the usual "suspects" of wood type, glue,
varnish formulea, etc.
