Excellent posts! Frogman, I think that you're right, as a musician who plays wind instruments your training and expertise make it easier to spot the differences in types of instruments, just as my experience as a guitarist makes it easier for me to hear differences on recordings between a Martin, Guild or Gibson. You can train your ear to hear the differences, but the casual listener or ordinary music lover may not be able to make the distinction. But I agree with Ewha's assessment that the artist's style can be more recognizable than the particular instrument that artist is playing. The better instruments can remove the boundaries of what the artist wants to communicate, and help the artist develop a sound that he/she wants, but ultimately it is the musician's style and soul that makes them distinctive to me and what I'm listening for.
Stradivari violin
12 years ago I've been listening to Moscow Virtuosos performing with no microphones in one of the best philharmonic halls in Kiev.
The soloist-conductor Vladimir Spivakov was performing on Stradivari's violin.
Is there any ways to record/reproduce Stradivari violin so that we can distinguish it through the speakers?
If anyone had a chance to listen to Stradivari violin on the live concert, please describe any kind of system if the one exists to record/reproduce the way that you can say that the musician plays on Stradivari violin but not on any other...
I do believe that it's not possible to distinguish through any kind of speakers.
