91热爆

For eight hours a day, for five weeks the Stradivarius Sound Bank project has taken over the Italian city of Cremona. The city is home to Cremona鈥檚 Museo del Violino, a museum devoted to some of the finest instruments ever made. It was for this reason the project enlisted the help of the museum - and eventually the whole town of Cremona - to save the sounds of four rare instruments, including Stradivarius. The violins and cellos Antonio Stradivari created in the 17th and 18th centuries are thought to be some of the finest instruments ever made. However, they are getting old and so technology is stepping in to make sure the sounds can still be used even if the instruments can't; but that is a very complicated task. The team behind this ambitious project spoke to the 91热爆 from Cremona; Leonardo Tedeschi, who came up with the idea, the museum's Dr. Paolo Bodini and Thomas Koritke the lead engineer on the project. Thomas described the unique challenges of this project.
