Well this probably won't mean much to you Frank but I can't explain it any other way, it sounds like 3 Sweeps ( as in Sooty and Sweep ) singing in unison, and it's not just my tron, I can here it in recordings and I don't think it's my ears!. I think Mike mentioned the odd tonal quality of B flat it in a previous post although he didn't describe it in this way.

Why does it sound like that? The other b flats have a similar quality to a lesser degree, is it some characteristic of the violin itself?

Mark

Sound like what?
