RE: Bits and pieces of interesting programming for our concert

That scordatura choice for the Pachelbel suite sounds wild, raising the lower strings and nudging the top ones to get that brassy Bb ring. I love how it reshapes the color and keeps the dances lively, even without a chamber organ to lean on. Do you keep a second fiddle set up for that tuning, or do you retune between pieces and hope the pegs behave?

I have a few violins, so I keep one at that tuning for a few weeks so that it has a chance to properly settle and be reliable in concert!
