Dendrochronological analysis of the Stradivari’s harp
Dendrochronologia, 2022 Stradivari's apprenticeship is still not completely understood today. Tradition has it that he was a pupil of Nicola Amati, the great violin maker who preceded him in musical instruments production in the city of Cremona. However, no documents proving Stradivari's presence in Nicola Amati's workshop can be found.

Wood used by Stradivari and Guarneri [PDF]
Nature, 2006 Whether or not the great Italian violin-makers used wood that had been chemically processed in order to preserve it and enhance the instrument's sound quality has long been a contentious issue. Here we use nuclear magnetic resonance and infrared spectroscopy to analyse organic matter in wood taken from antique instruments made by Stradivari and ...

Banishing the myths and dogmas surrounding the biotech Stradivarius
PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 2, Issue 3, Page 237-243, May 2020., 2020 The impact of global warming on wood formation means that it is becoming increasingly difficult to find superior‐quality resonance wood for the production of musical instruments. Using fungi, we can mimic the effects of a cold climate on wood, to produce biotech violins with a tone matching those of a Stradivarius.
