fiddlecollector Posted October 4, 2008 Report Share Posted October 4, 2008 I had my money on Limes! Drats! Sounds like if he thought if he gave the violin `cough medicine` the violins tone would improve no end. (all ingredients mentioned can be found in various cough remedies) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill Yacey Posted October 5, 2008 Report Share Posted October 5, 2008 For real shrieky violins I recommend "Expanding Tone Foam". You simply insert the nozzle through one of the F holes and fill about half full. The foam will then expand and the excess will push out from the f holes, and once hardened can be later trimmed away with a utility knife. Benefits of this revolutionary product: * Sounpost will never fall over * Violin can be dropped and suffer little damage * Great for apartment dwellers with cranky neighbors * Violin cannot fill with water if left in the rain * Floats indefinitely on water - great for the beach * Eliminates wolf notes * Dust cannot collect inside instrument * Minimizes insect damage * Conveniently hides makers tag - Only You'll really know! * Become the life of the concert hall with a truly unique soundless instrument! :) ] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
