I have two fiddles... one handmade by an old fiddle maker in New Brunswick, and the other a Palantino copy of a stratavarius, which I paid $109 for at a pawn shop. I took the cheap one and placed it next to the subwoofer in my car, and blasted heavy metal rock music, and turned it into a great sounding instrument. Everyone comments how great it sounds for a cheap violin. There's something about loud, thumping music that actually does something to the wood molecules to make it vibrate more freely.
