How’s about a plastic fiddle?

Disclosure: I work for GE Aviation and these are made from GE Plastic.

Just curious if anyone has heard these and formed an opinion on their sound quality and such.

Jenee (Keener) Feener could work this into her act with Terri Clark. I don't expect to see David Russell with one at Scotty's though.

David Russell got one of the highest compliments that anyone could ever get.
One time around 88" I was at a R.O.P.E.
meeting and David was playing fiddle
with the house band. Someone mentioned
to Gordon Terry that the fiddler had
a nice sound. Then Gordon smiled and
said Yeah I'd like to break both of
his arms. He had our table in stitches.
But you could tell by the way he was
watching it was with respect and total
admiration. By the way Kayton Roberts
nickname David Russell as PUDDIN.

Small world, ain't it? You know George Mundhenk?

Closer to $1500 using these exchange rates

1.8808 USD per British Pound

Forgive my ignorance of international finances but is UK on the Euro or headed that a way?
