At the 27th “Osnabrücker Baumpflegetagen” (one of Germany’s most important annual conferences on all aspects of forest husbandry), Empa researcher Francis Schwarze’s "biotech violin" dared to go head to head in a blind test against a stradivarius – and won! A brilliant outcome for the Empa violin, which is made of wood treated with fungus, against the instrument made by the great master himself in 1711.

That's it!!! I'm fungus-treating my DIY strat!!! Who wants to join??? We be fungus-buddies!!!

bio treating cost more than a huber guitar
Stradivarius soaked his violin tonewood in salt water to preserve them before they were used,maybe try doing so
