Just thinking about the guys I know who have like 10 violins, 20 bows, and are always looking for a better sound. I don't know if it's a male thing, or a technical thing, but it sure keeps violin shops in business. Me, I kind of just fell for my violin and then sold a mutual fund to get it. It's also kind of funny how one music teacher who is a woman told me that she likes a particular violin because it has a male sound, and the other teacher who is a man, likes the sweet sounding violin because it sounds like a girl. My violin is not sweet, but kind of brash and muscular, and I guess it's because it is a boy violin, and reminds me of my husband. Ha ha, and I play the bow pretty hard on it, my teacher was telling me not to smash into the strings so much.
