Ron: The piano is a much more versatile instrument and has not yet fully evolved (though it's evolution has slowed to a painfully slow pace by current manufacturers). Cello & violin are what they are and have been for centuries. dp _______________________ David M. Porritt, RPT dporritt at smu.edu -----Original Message----- I have a question. Where are all the "compositions" for prepared cello and violin? I don't recall any instance of someone hanging bolts, rocks, and coffee cups from the strings of their Strad to make new sounds, or drilling extra holes in their oboes. Everyone picks on pianos.
