Can a violin become more responsive over time?
I just bought a brand new violin, and it sounds ok. It has a wonderful sounding G, but the E is a little muted. It is a bit unresponsive, should I try changing the brand of strings, or should I just wait for a while and hope it opens up more, and becomes more responsive?
