Thanks, Dave. Once in awhile I "try out" a violin, using a cello bow (which he seemed to be doing), saying "let's see, this is a violin so I hold it under my chin" (putting the scroll under my chin while the far end rests in my lap ...) A cello bow makes a tremendously gutsy tone on a violin. He went so far beyond just fiddling around with his fiddler friends that he got my attention. The Handel-Halvorsen, while not requiring true virtuosity, is also not a pushover to play, on either instrument.
