In my opinion, it’s difficult to make side-by-side sound comparisons that we can trust when there are so many variables to account for in each instrument, including the setup and strings used. Are the strings in one instrument brand new while the strings in the other have become old and dull (and vice versa)? What about the bridge of each instrument? Does each instrument respond the same to the same bow in the video? Finally, then there are differences in the listener’s taste to account for. I personally thought the mellow sound of the first cello sounded better than the brighter sound of the Strad. Louder and brighter is not always better. Anyways, just things to consider.
Ok now a little common sense, there was an Mini, or little Ice age, in the 17th century, that changed the density of the wood, that was used to construct Stradivarius instrument. Which is obviously the KEY to the instruments unique sound.
Well, the two do sound different but I don't know that the Stradivarius sounded better. Everyone, please watch my little nature videos. There is no talking in them. Shhh!
Some people can't get a needed CT scan, due to no insurance or not enough money. However, free time is donated to scan a violin. What a world.

The very first has a deep mellow resonance. The Strad had it all and could "throw its voice" better.
The 2nd cello was obviously much larger which will open up its sound.

But wouldn't that only affect one of the rings in the wood?
@@goodcyrus Only if the mini ice age lasted only a single year.
What? I can't believe how much louder & fuller the Strat sounded. Were they using a high end instrument for comparison?
Strat is short for a fender guitar. You mean Strad. Don't make that mistake again, you look foolish.
Romeo Frankenstein Strat. Oops I did it again 😯
Foolish!

Shit. Barry Allen messing up the time line again.
