Gee Doug,

Me posted the question here first ...but ummm nobody answered.
However to answer your question
As a matter of fact yes, yes me did like what the dudes over there replied with.

Now Doug, if you got anything to respond to me question with, why me would likes to hear it.


Blessings

You can change the "darkness" or brightness" of an instrument be changing the set-up. Different strings can make a huge difference, as can the cut of the bridge, and the soundpost placement. In making a new instrument, the density and stiffness of the wood make a difference, as well as the arching, volume, and shape. No simple answers.

I know that this particular post is about cello, but here's a chart for violin
