	I for one would like to hear more about the above and esp. how the
string players do it.  There are no fretts of the neck, the tuning
pegs are held in by friction, and it would seem the pressure of the
bow on the string would also affect pitch.  Also the question of how
do they play with a keyboard, as opposed to just themselves.
