"The onset of the Maunder Minimum at a time when the skills of the Cremonese violinmakers reached their zenith perhaps made the difference in the violin's tone and brilliance," they conclude.

Grissino-Mayer and Burckle published their findings in the obscure scientific journal "Dendrochronologia" in July. Their conclusions are only now beginning to circulate.

"...But on the other hand, nobody in this field ... would ever say that if you put the best wood in the world in the hands of a mediocre maker that you would get a good instrument," she said. "So it is never a complete explanation. Nor is the varnish nor any of the other things they have talked about. I would dare say there is no one piece of the puzzle."

Вот такая демагогия.
