I would hope so. We have so much more to work with than did some guys in some European villages.
I continue to be amazed at how decent an acoustic guitar you can get for less than 200 bucks these days.
We don't have the high-quality old-growth wood available that the old makers did. That wood is denser, with smaller cells, and has a different sound. Especially the old-growth spruce, which is very hard to find these days.
We also don't have TIME, and we don't have the workshop/apprentice system in use either. Both those factors made the very best violins in the old days better than what's available today.
But your production violins are better than anything your average middle-class amateur musician could have bought in the old days. My daughter has a violin that was made in Paris in the 1920s -- it's old enough to have aged and mellowed, and although it's from a middle of the line maker it has a beautiful rich sound. We picked it up dirt cheap because the soundboard was cracked . . . fortunately there is a wonderful violin maker/repairman here in town, and she took it apart, mended that crack and several others that she found, reassembled it and voila! a lovely violin. Probably we didn't save much money in the long run because violin repair does not come cheap, but it's fun to have something that's 80 years old and still sounds so nice.
