"If the best electronics and speaker technology can't produce hypersonic 
frequencies, then somehow I doubt that a 300 year old violin can."

It is relatively easy to produce hypersonic frequencies, and most musical
instruments produce hypersonic partials.  Conventional wisdom has been that
harmonics above the audio range need not be reproduced to provide an accurate
recording or transmission.  The validity of this assumption is being debated.
