Double blind test on Strads

Don't tell their owners!

We dont know enough about the test, the listeners or qualifications to consider this a open shut case, may be true and if so it wont change 99.99999999% of peoples lives anyway. ;)

Likely all the violins in the dark room test are china-made fakes. The real deal Strads have been stolen and smuggled to some rich guy in China.

I was curios about the new smell, but in this link it says they put perfume on the chinrest. [http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/notrocketscience/2012/01/02/violinists-can%E2%80%99t-tell-the-difference-between-stradivarius-violins-and-new-ones/]
