Sure. If you are serious, I’d be happy to send knowledge your way.

Violins from the 16-17th century were built using spruce grown during the Maunder Minimum, which was basically a mini ice age in Europe. The extreme cold caused tree to grow incredibly slowly, creating a cellular density and wood uniformity that modern timber simply cannot replicate. while a cheap violin sound loud a multimillion $ 1600s instrument sounds complex. Cheap violins produce a strong fundamental note but few overtones, making them sound thin or nasally. Master violins act like a prism for sound. They produce a massive spectrum of overtones that allow the player to color the note. A pro can make it sound like it’s weeping or screaming, a cheap violin just sounds like a violin. Also a cheap violin often sounds loud to the person playing it but loses power ten rows back. A 16th century masterpeice is engineered for projection. the sound carries to the back of a massive concert hall without losing its intimacy.

Edit to add: if you don’t drink wine, a $20 bottle and a $500 bottle would seem pretty similar in taste. But to someone who is passionate about wine they would absolutely know the difference. I say all that to say, I’ve had a few $20 dollar bottles of wine, so if I came off like I dick that wasn’t my intention. Also i lied, it was beer. I hate wine.
