Weird String Combo

I know you'll all think I am crazy, but I am trying an obligato e, pirastro piranito a, aricore d, and dominant G, all on the same violin at the same time.

I'll tell you how it goes.

I have such an update, no time right now, need to take puppy to the dog park.

You give new meaning to the phrase "mix and match." Good luck with your choices.
