DB, I commend your desire to minister to instruments, and I believe that you have a calling there, so I can understand the courage andyearning to accept any work offered. But-- not with bows. I think that to work on anything fiddlish, you'd need to be able to play one... not necessarily WELL, but be able to get a clear tone out of a mid-quality fiddle. Otherwise you will not have the ear/touch feel to get it to sing.
