21:27:25 <Taaus> Great... I made Bach look like Walter Matthau.
21:28:00 <lament> I've seen an applet that did that to Bill Gates
21:28:19 <lament> but that was on an anti-microsoft site, not a gates fansite
21:29:02 <Taaus> Maybe this just goes to show that jsbach.org is anti-bach!
21:29:57 <lament> wow: http://www.jsbach.net/images/Jordan6StringViolin.html
21:33:27 <Taaus> Oooh. Electric violins.
21:33:38 <lament> Six stringed electric violins.
21:34:22 <lament> I wonder how is it played.
21:34:32 <Taaus> Like a regular violin.
21:34:50 <lament> It doesn't have a bow.
21:35:04 <Taaus> Duuuh, then you provide the bow yourself.
21:35:07 <lament> You can't play with a bow on six strings.
21:35:15 <lament> The board is flat anyway.
21:35:34 <Taaus> It isn't. It curves slightly.
21:35:50 <Taaus> It was enough when Bach lived.
21:36:56 <lament> Maybe it was enough when Bach lived.
21:37:03 <lament> But certainly not for _six_ strings.
21:37:36 <Taaus> And you base this on... What?
21:38:13 <Taaus> That's interesting... Because my experience tells me it would be enough.
21:39:24 <lament> How come all (that I know of) bowed instruments have four, or less than four, strings?
21:40:01 <Taaus> Dunno... Possibly you don't know a lot of bowed string instruments?
21:41:23 <Taaus> Here's a hint. Go look up information on an instrument called 'viola da gamba'
21:42:04 <Taaus> Oh, look... First link on google shows a six-string viola da gamba...
21:42:39 <lament> http://www.violadagamba.nl/pix/kampic.gif
21:43:10 <lament> Nothing like that curve on the electric violin.
21:43:21 <Taaus> Irrelevant... You claimed there were very few string instruments with more than four strings.
21:44:10 <lament> I'm not even going to inquire why the da gamba effectively died out
21:44:37 <Taaus> But anyway you don't have an argument, so you'll try your best to move the conversation elsewhere.
21:44:51 <Taaus> Doesn't it depress you to be wrong all the time?
21:44:56 <lament> We weren't talking about da gambas.
21:45:06 <lament> We were talking about that six-stringed violin.
21:45:44 <Taaus> Ah, so your 'nonexistance of >4-stringed instruments' argument was a straw man.
21:46:16 <lament> and i didn't agrue nonexistance. Just ignorance.
21:46:28 <Taaus> Well, in that case, I won't bother talking with you...
21:46:34 <lament> "It's pitch black, you're likely to be eaten by agrue."
21:48:32 <lament> In fact we were both quite wrong.
21:48:59 <lament> The violin is played with a bow, and the bridge is very curved.
