There Is a Reason Why The Violin Sounds Better and Better
　　 The violin soundboard is divided into static band, elastic band and vibration band areas according to its function.The stationary belt is like a support belt. The vibrating belt swings mechanically along the stationary belt. At the junction, I call it the elastic belt. It is like the elastic rubber edge or paper edge of the speaker. Different frequency bands will have different elastic band distribution. In fact, the violin is different from the speaker. There is no strict boundary when the elastic band is used. It is a gradual transition band.The vibrating belt is like a fan, fanning the air to make sound. Wood is a material with complex local structure. There are still very rigid cell walls and some mineral

crystals in the middle of the new qin wood, but it is very fragile. Under the action of constant vibration, the cell walls of these elastic belts will break and break, leaving behind elastic wood fibers and other elastic cell walls that are not broken, and will not fall apart further.This process is gradual and there are no obvious changes.I think it may have been an interesting curve in the past. It was very steep at the beginning, and then gradually became gentle. If you must divide the dividing line for this process, the period of time when the cell wall and the residue crystals broke on the largest scale is called the “sound-opening period”. It may be what the experienced big guys call “one month”, a long transition period. During this period, the accumulation and reorganization of microscopic fracture residues will also form a temporary mechanical support structure, just like a house collapses, and sometimes triangular space can be left, so there can still be living people underneath during an earthquake, but such a house is obviously inside. Very unstable, this is the “better and better period”.
