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.
