01 Nov 05 - 03:35 PM (#1595207) Subject: RE: BS: Muslin Violins From: Lonesome EJ In my opinion, Muslin Violins represents the greatest threat to orchestral rigidity in the world today. I can't believe LH would call them "comfortable" based on such flimsy evidence. |

01 Nov 05 - 05:15 PM (#1595274) Subject: RE: BS: Muslin Violins From: GUEST,Martin Gibson Muslin violins are played with a combination bow/knife for jihad purposes only. A Fiddler On the Roof will never play an instrument of such poor quality. besides, it might be wired to blow up. |

Anyone who thinks that Bill Shatner is the bee's knees obviously isn't stitched to tight. So I'd ignore this thread except that I thought it read "Muslim violins" and I wanted to know more about them by bowing to LH's obviously superior knowledge. |

03 Nov 05 - 05:04 AM (#1596273) Subject: RE: BS: Muslin Violins From: Dead Horse The two-string variety known as Gawds are mostly used for playing religeous pieces, whereas the more popular four-stringed instruments are called Fidels and are ideal for Latin American rhythms. Stained a deep shade of indigo they may be used for Bluegrass but the inherant drool associated with this style does tend to soften the notes and make the instruments unplayable. Should be played on the hip, rather like an AK47, and not under the chin like a bazooki, which incidentally, Italians call Piats! |

Admittedly, it's banjos rather than fiddles, but I wonder if at least some of the paintings might be done on muslin canvasses? |

I don't mind if my boyfriend buys one of them. They are obviously quiet, but do they go limp in the cold, wet climate of Britain ? |
