Thank you! I hope it's a trend that players learn how their tools work.

Fascinating! What a gift to hear a pro's opinions on instrument setup.

[@AlastairBrownViolist]

It is a common misconception that players do not know about the setup and adjustment of fiddles, the perfect scenario is a mutual respect and sharing of insight between both to get the desired result which is a beautiful sound. Bravo Giora!
