The only one I can possibly think of is a Sam Ray Compton Jr. violin I saw and played in the white at Winfield quite a few years ago. I can't even really say it got away, because it was a commisioned instrument for a friend of mine. Sam Ray was just nice enough to let me play it, even before Jennis had...........

I have my mellow Lady, with Thomastik Dominants, and my brassy bitch (Maggie) with Red Label steels. I have my McSpadden LD which plays like melted butter.....nah, I don't guess there is one that got away.

There is, however, the lovely dun fiddle with a fleur-di-lis inlay on the fingerboard that Dana has. We (4 of us) have fooled with set up, bridge, strings, soundpost, speakers, you name it, and it still sounds like a cigar box with rubber bands. It really is too lovely to sound like crap, but it does. (But I wish I owned it just because it is so pretty.)
