Tartini Tone

November 26, 2009 10:10

 I just have to say this funny new thing about my violin:

When playing D on the A string combined with F# on the E string, the resulting perfectly in tune 3rd creates a Tartini tone on open D.  My violin's D string will actually sound like I'm playing it if I hit it just right.

Good or bad?  It's certainly very distracting, but VERY cool.
