Thanks. That's what I found too after I went looking. So of the 526,
depending on which of the offered numbers you accept, remaining violins, the
sound of the originals was so overwhelmingly revered that all but six of
them were substantially altered with new, longer, more angled necks
producing higher string tensions and different tonal characteristics.

The one thing that seems to be universal about the worship of Steinway,
Stradivarius, the Grateful Dead, JoBu, or any other of the many popular
choices is the indistinct and rather arbitrary nature of the available Gods.
