Interesting bilind testing of Stradivarius Violin
Heard this the other day on NPR and found it quite interesting.
Stradivarius Violin Blind Testing
This of course relates to high end Audio too, when listening to your music System, how much do you use your eyes and how much do you use your ears.
Good Listening

05-20-14: Frogman He's referring to the fact that SPLs in the middle of an orchestra can be quite loud. If ear protection is not used, hearing damage is quite possible. See the following article if interested: http://www.ciop.pl/44610 From the article: ... the A-weighted equivalent continuous sound pressure level LAeq measured over the duration of a single music piece, on the stage among musicians of a concert orchestra (wind instruments) is 83.0Â106.5 dB.

Playing in an orchestra is not likely to make you deaf--unless you're sitting BEHIND the horns, which no one does. Joseph Curtin (name was misspelled in the article) is quite well-known and no doubt has a long waitng list. He likely needs no advertising. The fact that the players were fooled is huge. I don't think that some people are getting this. That is the difference between this and previous tests which relied on the listeners and not the players to judge the instruments. |
