Oops!  Thanks, fixed.

Well, playing on a $1000 (or even $1,000,000) violin is just a
matter of getting a recording of somebody tapping on such an
instrument.  Such recordings (I only need 12 milliseconds of a tap
noise!) _are_ available online, but I haven't yet found a
recording which stated that it was available under the GPL.  And
since sound recordings are covered by copyright, I can't just take
an existing one.  :(

I might work up the courage to send emails to those people and ask
for permission to include their recording in Artifastring (i.e.
place them under the GPLv3), now that I have a real example of how
I'd use it.


Playing with a skill of 5 years will probably take me another
18-24 months to reach.  :)

Cheers,
