My daughter is a 31 year-old professional musician. You will get
similar sentiments from _at least_ 90% of the pro violinists you talk
to, at least the ones with good instruments.
And understandably so -- it's easy to ask for something which gives a
unique sound, but it's not always practical. And you can't expect
people with extremely expensive instruments to go doing things which
will render that instrument all but useless for a week or so as it
settles back into standard tuning. And you can't expect those same
people to have any other instruments which they can "sacrifice" in the
same way, either.
What composers want is one thing -- what all but the most highly paid
orchestras can give them may be something else entirely. :-)
