  Hi Dave.

  I have been away and so could not get my mail. Violins
  have a *spruce* top and a *maple* back. Other woods
  have been used sometimes. But the top plate is always
  a soft wood.

  Sorry to nit pick.

  Downbearing on a fiddle is about 1/2 total tension or
  40 lbs.

  Thanks Don.  Of course.  My mistake.  As a cellist, I know full well =
the top is spruce, and the back is maple.  Just didn't proofread.  =
Didn't know the downbearing force, however.  --Dave Nereson
