Polished with Vienna chalk and paraffin oil (not lamp oil). This took the too glossiness away -looking more authentic! Also strung up the violin for first play. It is very powerful, (almost too much). It's nearly impossible to remember how it sounded in the white but I do remember the way the bow "grabs" the strings, it's the same, really responsive. In playing state with chin rest A0 = 274 Hz B1- = 456 Hz B1+ = 549 Hz C2 = 396 Hz The violin is right on the edge as I wanted it to be. Compared to setup in the white (lower MC%) |
