Yeah and of the old ones that are left are probably the best of the bunch,
anything that was mediocre is well gone by now.

This really doesn't surprise me, though. Modern engineering and material
science allows manufacturers to build an instrument in such a way to mimic a
classic. Of course, another factor is that the old classics are really all
over the boards in quality and condition. It is also a situation where the
modern instrument isn't a school-starter fiddle, but a very high-end unit
that costs as much as a lease on the old classic.
A further caution about the modern instrument is that you can make a brand
new unit that attains a sound that matches the classic, but what will happen
to the sound after this one ages a bit and has hundreds or thousands of
hours of playing time on it?
