It is interesting, but it is also understandable. What I have to think of is that Stradivarius did revolutionize violin building, and many of his instruments sound really good even today. I think that this artistry and age, experience of the the instrument itself must be of some worth too. But that doesnt mean that modern builders cant build instruments cant build incredible instruments also, I think it is sort of how Rmn says. If one compared with guitars, everyone knows Torres, his guitars are gorgeous, but I believe more modern luthiers can make equal or better instruments today, because of the knowledge made by Torres, also there is preference for sound too.. No way I would ever play a 300 year ancient instrument though, I would probably break it and go into deep debt...
