The older the violin, the better the sound, in most cases. New ones don't have their ultimate sound yet, but they are cheaper. A new violin, well made, will have a very good sound the day it is finished, but if it is a truly well made violin, constructed of good materials, it will always ripen with age and "sing" better as it gets older. It is universally believed that the aging of the spruce in the violin's top is a part of this, but most experts in the field also believe chemical changes in the varnish also play a distinct role in the process.

Did stainer sign or emboss his violins?

Yes, Jacob Stainer, the renowned 17th-century violin maker from Tyrol, typically signed his violins. His signature often appears on the labels inside the instruments, which include his name and the location of his workshop. However, he did not emboss his violins in the way some later makers did; his craftsmanship was more focused on the quality of the wood and construction than on decorative embellishments.


Why does the number of violins in an orchestra vary?

Because unlike winds and brass in which there is a set number of parts, i.e. 1st, 2nd, and 3rd trumpet, the 1st and 2nd violin parts only very generally convey the composer's means, and most composers will say a large or small string section depending on what they have in mind, but composers rarely have a set number of string parts in their head, as opposed to winds or brass because violins don't carry as well in the context of the orchestra. Background (kinda): There can be anywhere from 1 to like 100 violin players in an orchestra. There are usually 2 parts (1st and 2nd violin) and they split it half 1st half 2nd. Sometimes there are like 5 different violin parts. Actual answer: The reason they vary is generally because of how many people are in the orchestra and they just split it. Also it is because of how loud the conductor wants the violins to be
