197 - Fiddle
1. Artificial Preservatives
Biochemist, Joseph Nagyvary, says he has figured out "beyond a doubt" that a harsh chemical preservative deserves the credit for the legendary sound produced by a Stradivarius violin. |
3. It's a Draw
of course, other scientific studies suggest that the perfect Stradivarius sound might be more hype than anything else. |
5. The Cricket
You might be better off saving the $3.5 million you were going to spend on a Stradivarius and just buy a nice, simple one stringed electric fiddle. |

I am confused about the alleged electricosity of your fiddle.
Installed inside the body of the fiddle is a pickup system made from a pair of piezo transducers. These things capture vibrations and convert them into electrical sygnals which can then be amplified. There is a standard guitar jack in the end of the fiddle.
