	Science Fair Projects - Stradivarius
		A Stradivarius (or "Strad") is a stringed instrument built by members of the Stradivari family, especially by Antonio Stradivari.
		Their individual qualities are considered worth distinguishing, and a Strad is often identified by the name of someone (often a famous musician) who formerly owned it, or regularly performed on it.
		It is believed that there are fewer than 700 genuine Strads left in existence, very few of which are unaccounted for.

	Toby Faber, Stradivari's Genius: Five Violins, One Cello, and Three Centuries of Enduring Perfection
		Toby Faber, in tracing the lives of six of Stradivari's instruments 'because, of course, it is the Strad that is the pinnacle of the luthier's art' offers a delightfully readable and lively account of the genius of Cremona and the fascinating history of the violin.
		Strads, with their robust and penetrating sound, were made for concert halls in a time when those concert halls simply didn't exist.
		It was really in the nineteenth century that the Strad came into its own, when composers of the caliber of Beethoven, Brahms, and Tchaikovsky were writing their concerti and sonatas for violin.

		In order to make this longer stop agree with the more general length in usage, some examples have been cut down at the top-an operation much to be deplored, as it must be remembered that the extra length compensates in some measure for the narrower width.
		He leaves the flatter and less hollowed model of the characteristic "long Strad," and returns again to the teachings of Amati: outline of the bouts more curved, corners long, straighter and more splayed out, the absence of the more drooping curve allowing the elongated mitres of the purfling to point straight up the corners.
		The model, in full harmony with the general appearance, is hollowed on leaving the edge; in short, the whole bears a strong resemblance to that striking type of Nicolo Amati of the years 1640-50.

	Stradivarius: Artisan or accidental chemist? \| csmonitor.com
		In fact, the answer to the world's oldest-running physics experiment may be more akin to a recipe for a Cajun chef's secret sauce than to the woodcarving genius of a Renaissance luthier.
		According to Joseph Nagyvary, a chemist at Texas AandM University in College Station and a native Hungarian whose heavy accent is the European equivalent of a Texas drawl, the Strad's empathic tone comes as much from the corner chemist as from the angelic artisan.
		The oxide-burnished Strad floats through a Saint-Saens waltz, invoking the kind of reverie that has brought everyone from John Hersey to Georgie Eliot to tears.

	David Van Zandt Interview in the VSA Newsletter December 1999
		While it’s true that I chose the early Strad model over a later one when building the instrument for my client, in the end we have to realize there are many more similarities than differences between the early and golden period Stradivari instruments.
		But the idea that using a golden period Strad or some species of del Gesu is always going to satisfy modern musicians is very limiting, as well as unrealistic one could almost say fatalistic.
		If all I did was copy either the Soil Strad or the Canon del Gesu in order to satisfy all my clients, I think I would go mad and give up making.

		At the other side of the house is a soil pipe connected to one toilet that is open to the outside at the top.
		I have a similar problem to Brush, ie a waterlogged back garden (in my case thick Cheshire clay soil.) The garden slopes away from the house so the surface water is higher than the low point of the drains.
		In my experience, cutting a roughly 150x150mm hole to evacuate a soil pipe is straightforward enough, and does not normally require lintels or support structures, but then, your situation may be different.
