In our Chamber Orchestra, we (the wind) wince at the string scrapings going
on since they tune one string and 3 others from it to what they individually
think is OK.  After that it is all again individual stopping at an
approximation of where the note is - though listen to a pro orchestra and
they play as one person - in ours, you hear 8 variations on a theme (the
1sts) and they come in like Mantovani's cascading strings on a note to be
played together!



Hi Paul,

Wouldn't it solve the intonation problem to simply have violins
made with frets and have them tuned at the factory??

Just a suggestion.
