The secret of the verni layer of the Stradivarius violin

German and French researchers have just announced a new discovery about the verni class of the legendary Stradivarius violin, whereby the perfect sound does not come from this shiny varnish.

Scientists around the world constantly argue about the secret to create the wonderful sound of the guitar made by Italian artist Antonio Stradivari. There are people for the guitar that is made of a special kind of wood, the one is due to the glue. Some scientists have argued that Stradivari used a special mineral to kill the beetles and thus sound better. The majority of opinions focused on the unidentifiable components in the shiny verni class.

Researchers from Cambridge University confirmed that the red verni layer created the secret of the sound of the guitar. In 1988, a research team analyzed the verni sample from a cello produced in 1711, discovering an extremely thin layer of verni with a volcanic ash-like chemical composition for cement production in Northern Italy. Perhaps Stradivari mixed this ash with chicken egg whites and water to create a sound box with magical sound.

Varnish layer of the famous violin is made from oil and resin.

However, after years of intensive research and understanding of the Stradivarius's varnish layers, French and German scientists have just announced finding the truth about varnish and interesting and negative The loud sound of the guitar is not from the verni class.

The master craftsman created the famous violin that used two extremely ordinary and popular materials in the 18th century in the process of creating a violin: oil and turpentine.

Chemical engineer of Paris's Museum of Music, Jean-Philippe Echard, said: 'After four years of research, I found that the lacquer did not affect sound. We found red dye on varnish. Stradivari uses different colors, different visual effects to make the paint look special. In fact, he did not use any material too secretly, simply Antonio was a talented artisan and billionaire with work. And maybe he used a special wood to create the guitar . '
