Hey Sorch, I damn 'cited. Tonight I get my hands on a super fiddle that I can buy very reasonably. It's allegedly special, so I will PM you with any provenance that comes with it. I've been getting along really well with Bill's loaned fiddle, and I've found it so addictive that I've spent entire weekends, day and night, playing the durned thang. It's been about 8 months now since I first launched into it, but I've been at it for literally hundreds of hours.
