Do you know what? voice-verified

That's a really n nice way of thinking voice-verified

another big voice-verified

one. voice-verified

But actually people have done blind testing of violins and it seems that generally people can't tell the difference between like a really modern one that you get and a Stradivarius and you you put blindfolds on them, you put in a room where they can't see what they're doing, you give it them to play, and you say which one's the Stradivarius, and usually they can't tell. voice-verified

So even violinists can't tell. voice-verified

That um one is the Messiah, right? voice-verified

In the Ashmolean. voice-verified

Is that the one we're talking about? voice-verified

Uh that's the big one that they have there now, anyway. voice-verified

It's supposed to be the one that's in the best condition out of any Stradivarius, but in fact it has been modified, as they all have. voice-verified

So around the eighteenth century, um people changed what they thought violins should be like. voice-verified

They got a bit bigger, they got a slightly different. voice-verified

Different body, slightly different neck, and all the Strativarius got changed slightly. voice-verified

Oh really. voice-verified

Really? voice-verified

Uh and the Messiah which is in the Ashmolium, which like I say is supposed to be the most close to the original, it's had its neck lengthened, its base bar has been replaced, its bridge has been replaced, its tail piece has re been replaced, its pegs have been replaced, and its soundpost has probably been replaced and its strings have probably been serious. voice-verified

Yeah. voice-verified

Yeah, exactly. voice-verified

No. voice-verified
