skiingfiddler Posted October 5, 2011 Report Share Posted October 5, 2011 I wonder how a dealer would react if he had a table full of his fiddles and the players who came to try them all picked them up by the strings at the bridge. Anyone who handles my fiddles by the strings will see my fiddles just once and never again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
propolis Posted October 5, 2011 Report Share Posted October 5, 2011 If I am handling a strange fiddle, I hold it by the neck and chinrest as described above. That is more matter of courtesy, respecting human sensitivity, not so much about what the instrument can actually stand up to in musical service.

Jeffrey Holmes Posted October 5, 2011 Report Share Posted October 5, 2011 So, has anyone heard anything about the "new" del Gesu? Yes. All I'm willing to share on a public discussion board is, it's not "new". It appears in the Wurlitzer notes from the '20s (and that is mentioned in the Star article). It was just sleeping... and required a big job. Glad it has a new home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
