  1. Roughly speaking, a false string is one which does not have the same mass-per-length-unit across the entire vibrating length of the string. This can be due to uneven wear, but also be due to an accumulation of both internal and external contamination.
  2. Why would you pay $22.00 for pre-carved corner blocks, if you are willing to carve them yourself (presuming that you have a job which pays more than ten bucks an hour?)
  3. LOL, I still don't know how to pronounce your last name correctly.
  4. Several hundred or thousand years from now, archaeologists will dig up my gas-fired barbecue, and conclude that it was for the purpose of making burnt offerings to the gods.
  5. Quite possibly true. I can easily go along with that.
  6. Install a new string, and then get back to us. There's no point in trying to diagnose problems when the strings are "false" from wear, or comtamination.
  7. To make "Faster Sound" (increase the speed of sound), one can pump helium into the violin. It's a fun party trick.
  8. In some jurisdictions, a verbal contract carries as much weight as a written one. The difficulty is in proving what was said.
  9. How can that be known, prior to all the testimony and all the arguments being completed?
  10. There are lots of books and internet advice that one should not follow.
  11. Would that absolve them (or their heirs) from responsibility for past real, presumed, or claimed misdeeds, unless some sort of statute of limitations has run out?
  12. A bit more on this from another source: https://theviolinchannel.com/bein-fushi-instrument-dealers-successor-is-sued-for-alleged-fraud/
  13. Oil and bow hair are not known to be highly compatible.
