The role of the old 'genius-stradivari' violin is to impress by its own history - not by its sound.
Of course can the Stradivari be 3d scanned and be analysed to death and be rebuit as an 'even better sounding' facsimile, but that totally misses the point:
When someone plays an 300 Year old instrument, the ooze of connotation to that history alone is enough to elevate the performance.
