Violin Master Brings Sound Revolution to Old Fiddles
In Palisades Park, New Jersey, William Henry Brady claims to have devised a tiny metal sounding board that, when inserted between a violin’s belly and back, increases volume and resonance without sacrificing sweetness. He demonstrates with a $2 fiddle rivaling a $500 Amati, and holds letters from Ole Bull and Remenyi praising the discovery.
