Comment about 300-yr old violins is wrong.  Bats can produce sounds above
20kHz & they're a lot more than 300 yrs old.  You can make lots of sounds
at higher frequencies than 20kHz by robbing various things together;  eg,
wet finger on crystal.  That has nothing to do with whether you can hear
the sounds or whether sound systems can produce them.  I'm sure even new violins
produce such sounds.  They may not be relevant to the music they make,
which is the real issue.
