Thank you Stewart. I found that very interesting at your link.

My fiddles change from day to day......or is it me? They don't keep the same resonance quality all the time.

Frank, I have to admit that my second fiddle got a little squeaky on me too so I'd have to consider that it could my bowing. I bought a new bow (used), so I took that variable out of it.

I just have to hope the fiddle is the major culprit though because when I loaned it to another gal for half a day, she agreed that it squeaked on her too.

Tommy Jarrell, and Melvin Wine, and a bunch of those old guys, in my opinion screech and scratch instead of squeak. Maybe whistling sort of explains it better. Screech and scratch is part of the game but this squeaky/whistling thing I think is different.
