Stradivari Unveiled: Craft, Myth, and the Quest for the Perfect Violin

Take a deeper look at Stradivari—the man, the craft, and the legend surrounding his instruments. We untangle the life gaps, the training debates (Amati vs Ruggeri), and a craftsman’s 75-year quest that produced violins, cellos, and more. We'll explore the wood, the inner vs outer forms, and the famed golden period, while asking whether Strads truly sound better or if perception and history drive the mystique. With insights from Wikipedia and the Smithsonian, we separate fact from folklore in one of music history's greatest stories.
