And course it get more interesting for some other key signatures. I wouldn't mind going from B Major (5#'s) up to C Major, or E major to F Major. Maybe I could actually play some of the literature! .....nah, probably still couldn't. I am curious what the limit for raising pitch on a violin would be. I thought I read or heard somewhere that stringed instruments built long ago had some kind of reinforcing to withstand the higher tension. But I think I was also told that the tension on a violin string is something like 15 pounds. And I don't have any idea where that puts it in regard to breaking percentage.
