Viola players ... ... came to play themselves. Might be a little more productive if they tried the instrument rather than themselves. Mind you, bow on arm is probably a nicer sound than bow on viola. (Not sure about plucking though.) Tommo |

mart, You need to show that is attached. I doubt many viola players will know where that is on the anatomy. (And I don't want any of the female players getting confused. )Tommo |

[ tommo, So you don't think violas should hear what other instruments are playing? I'm sure that I read that correctly the first time around, but this time it was 'So you don't think that violas should wear what other instruments are playing?   |

To paraphrase the National Rifle Association of America: "Violas don't play bum notes. Violists play bum notes". But did you hear about the really great young viola-player with the astounding technique, who is also handsome and charming? No, nor did I. |
