It has occurred to me that my violin (playing) has never sounded better and I have to, at least mentally, note what the factors are. Maybe it will all change tomorrow but it is interesting where one might wind up after many years.
The Violin
I made a crazy trade for my current violin and now I suspect it was a violin "in the white" with a varnish coating of WalMart latex. It is what it is.
Bows
Have many. Most play satisfactorily. $100-200 range. Most CF.
Chin Rest
Teka with modified FM "shoulder rest (foam).
Rosin
Just about any color.
Strings
E,A ..... Black Diamond 5272(?)
D,G ......Helicore light. (Great move on a wild guess.)
Could hardly hear you in the background, Oliver, but what I did hear sounded really beautifull.
Where did you get the organ background music?

Sounds great but you missed the main thing in your list...

There is no shame in playing twinkle, youre playing Mozart

Yeah, sounded great Oliver! But that can't be your Bridge!?!?
@ ftufc
No it is not the Bridge. It is the acoustic I acquired on a hunch. It was a $1700 gamble but I may have gotten lucky.
@ Barry
Yeah, 25% talent and 75% busting chops.
@Fiddlestix
If you want some great backup music for violin surf on Barry Taylor and/or Irish midis. He wrote the book and it is great fun to jump into his tunes.
My recording techniques are horrible. I need a software metered mixed.
