Violaline http://lounge.espdisk.com/archives/1212 (best) http://espdisk.com/alansondheim/violaline.mp3 Modified Lamy violaline, late 19th century. I've tuned four strings to ee aa - two unisons a fourth apart; the unisons are played separately, allowing for major and minor intervals of all sorts, a different kind of chording. It reflects exactly the disruptions in our lives as we prepare for leaving Brooklyn for Providence, all sorts of things given away, the place turned upside-down. The music is strange, as is the instrument.
