Violin wood

[Don]

Hi Pierre,

There have been some experiments with adding linen "linings" to fiddles. As
far as wood replacement--why would such a thing be needful? I.E. where
would the wood disappear to?

Ahhh, I have it--it goes into the N dimension which is where Ron Nossman's
tunings migrated too and from our aural perceptions *grin*.

It is true that the neck and fingerboard have been replaced on almost all
the Strads and Del Gesu fiddles.
