Mariachera I will try that. I have two violins now and a third will be on the bench soon (it's all unglued and the neck is off and the finger board is off). None of my violins are really great fiddles. They are all European from the teens and twentys. They are loud and cut really good. The one that is going on the bench is some gypsy looking thing and it seems to be a little richer sounding (although I havn't had strings on it yet, or a neck) so that Might help. Multiple instruments, that might be a very good idea. Thankyou. toad
