Setting up strings:

I put a set of Pisastro(sp?) on my ZSM and am trying to play it for practice with only a fine tuner on the E string, which quite an adventure. The strings seem soft and spongy...

I'm very dissapointed that the violin shop has not glued the parchment to the bridge on my romanov (main practice violin) as it should have come with a tube or parchment and started to cut into my bridge. Even though it was a "warranty repair", it is still not complete after 5-6 days and I have a lesson tomorrow.

I spoke to the luthier this afternoon and he thinks he'll have it ready tomorrow.

I hope so.

I think the correct spelling is "pirastro" from the Eva Pirastro line.

I have the same problem with my violin. Whenever it needs repair and I have to take ot to the luthier, I find something wrong with their work and I have to return the violin again. So much time wasted! That's life.
