The B3's sound doesn't have much (if anything) to do with the wood. But maybe you knew that.

Given the difference in price, I think one could get pretty close in quality and save hundreds of thousands of dollars.You can get great quality sound in many Italian violins, but nothing compares to a good Strad. My son has been allowed to play on three (one was not great) and several other great Italian makers violins. There is no comparison.

"How's Toni doin', captain?" Believe it or not but one of the bands I played in was called:
THE CAPTAIN AND TOENAIL
and yes, I played a Hammond B3, with the tremolo cabinet I might add!

Better off playing a dead cat or a set of bag pipes.
In addition, as a curious side note, four out of five dentists cannot denote any discernable difference in tonal quality between the three.
