The idea that Strad sound is due to the varnish is not new.

It's known that there's diamond dust in the varnish.

The wood's also wet seasoned and that has an effect too.

Why didn't the giant eagles just fly them to Mordor? Cause then it would have been a three sentence story. " "Frodo sat alone on a lawn chair in his backyard watching the speck in the sky resolve itself into an enormous eagle. It swooped down, snatched him up, flew him to Mordor and dropped him into the fiery cauldron of Mt Doom. Sauron was suddenly destroyed as he sipped his morning coffee and Middle-Earth was saved from a dire threat it never knew existed."

Done

SEVEN NAZGUL to patrol the entire border? 24/7? or 2.3 Nazgul per 8 hour shift with NO radar? with those odds, Mordor would have been speaking elvish in no time :)

No, this is the reason why you don't use the giant eagles.

I had an interesting expeirnece listening to a Stradivarius in a mixed bill of violin and piano pieces, dating from the early 18th century to the 1980s. In the 18th and earlier 19th century works it was amazing. This deep, mellow, golden sound. But as the music became more recent, and definietly from the Impressionist pieces onwards, it didn't sound any different to me from a top-quality modern instrument.

I was certainly not expecting anything other than "really nice sound", which I got, not being any kind of conoisseur of violin. But it sounded better for the music of its own era, which makes some sense.
