What we will say

  • Sound profile matches high-end tier characteristics
  • Confidence depends on the standardized recording
  • Re-recording guidance when evidence is weak

What we will not say

  • This is a Stradivari or other maker
  • Price is guaranteed without human appraisal
  • Player technique is ignored

Dual-head model

  • Head A: instrument tier probabilities
  • Head B: technique and recording confounds
  • Calibration: tier to price band with caveats
