I am late getting onto this thread, so apologies if this has been covered
before.
Stringed instruments are at a disadvantage to most others for the player to
think about their expression throughout their playing. They have to think
about the way they hold the instrument, their hand-position, cho

Look at orchestral conductors for example - Is there any highly
regarded conductor who doesn't have flopp

Very interesting. Spent some time drooling over the flickrpics you so
kindly provided. Magnificent- beautiful, perfectly proportioned; string
