No, the other violinist did not notice it, I'm pretty sure because he also only tried it briefly and in a small room (they did recordings of two Strads and then just added that one in for fun).
The violin I have now is sort-of ideal for auditions. Whether it's ideal as an orchestra instrument is a different question...unfortunately I did not do recordings of the trial today, would have been nice to be able to post them here and also send them to the violin maker.
I wonder what he'll say when he reads my mail...
