i personally dont like the carbon fibre plan, the key factor of making a violin is the wood itself, with having a consistent material, it takes the fun and even downgrades the sound quality which pushes you further away from the goal of having a strad's sound. the 3 components of any violin is: wood, varnish and crafting. using carbon fibre takes out 2 of the main factors and as a result, will never get you to a strad/violin, but instead maybe a unique violin. But aiming for the strad is wrong.

Rainsong makes a 100% carbon guitar that sounds beautiful, and looks amazing.

why not just not make the points. The Strad body shape is stylistic not for tone. Surely if people are willing to buy a carbon fibre violin already the shape isn't going to matter to them too much...

@ChrisRokers Actually, they are the same. People who prefer country or "fiddle" music sometimes flatten the bridge slightly, but aside from that, there is no difference.

They are the same thing.

why change something that is already perfect?
as a violinist im totally against this...

Fiddles aren't Violins, stop mix and matching them two as if they're the same.

You are barking up the wrong and very difficult-to-climb tree. You need a 3D printer. Google 'Economist and Stradivarius'.

With composites you can make an instrument exactly the way you want, and replicate it many times over.
I'm a classical Double Bass player.
I must admit I have never seen a carbon fibre instrument in person so to speak, let alone played one, but my initial feeling upon hearing carbon instruments on recordings is that the sound is too bright.
Also tell me, do you put a bass bar in a carbon fibre instrument?

I love the look of Carbon Fibre too. It's just so sleek and modern, and the fiddle sounds pretty damn good too.
