Correct, but when it comes to recording the sound of that particular violin
you don't need to capture the ultrasonic frequencies, just what we can hear
for it to be a perfect reproduction for the listener. I was simplifying
things a little in my explanation, as in the end only what we can hear
makes up any of the identifying information about the instrument, which you
obviously state later on.
