Subject: RE: Old German Violins: info sought
Whoops! I obviously mis-read what you typed, and quite missed the point; that'll teach me to post late at night (well, actually, it won't, but it should remind me to read twice). Sorry for the confusion. The ones you're talking about sound like the Black Diamonds of the fiddle world, and my previous post should, for practical purposes, be ignored, as it's completely irrelevant.

It seems, though, that there are Super Sensitives and Super-Sensitives; at any rate, I've heard decent reports about some of the latter's product. Are they different companies, or ranges? I realise this hasn't got much to do with German fiddles as such, but it's always useful to have other people's impressions of strings; saves buying a pup, perhaps, at some point in the future.
