lol! I mean I came in talking shit and it's fine. I just like being obtuse. But yeah that picture they must have that bow so fucking tight, that the gap between the wood bow and the strings themselves as that much distance. That is crazy. I guess I need to go ahead and whip mine out. I just bought it from a middle-aged China man up in carmel. My dad forced me into learning guitar when I was in my teens. So I can read sheet music and play it but not any advanced stuff. And at this point my life I can't do a damn thing because I'm 35 now. But the best way to learn, is to start by learning the notes and sheet music at the same time. And the end goal is to properly play Allegro and preludium. I think Josh Bell has the best rendition of it. He also has the ex-huberman stradivarius. He had it restored over a two-year period because the fucker that stole it from hooverman had put a bunch of shoe polish on it and played it for 50 years until he admitted to the theft on his deathbed. I don't blame the guy either. If I had a chance to get a stradivarius, and I knew I'd get away with it, I would do the same thing. You will never get a violin to sound like one that is hundreds of years old. The Aging of that wood creates uniqueness in the sound.
