That's nothing ;) I've played a piece where all four strings are gradually detuned by two assistants, over the course of several minutes, to the point where the bridge falls down. And when discussing this piece, many other players have said they would never do this, the soundpost would fall, or the shifting pressures on the body would be prone to causing cracking (yeah right, like they keep it at a constant humiditiy, too), or the universe would implode, etc. None of these has happened yet. _______________________________________________ Finale mailing list Finale@shsu.edu http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
