Setup Rating: 9
i liken it to barbara striesand, in a star is born, gooky looking woman with not a lot going in the look's department, but when she began to sing, the world fell in love with her. And so it is with "Alena" once the bow sounds the stings, she sings better than most, would i resell her? Not for twice the money, she suits me to a tee and i can't put her down,lol.

i had heard that bobs fiddles were no case queens, and its true, i dare say that his new fiddles should be spot on with the workmanship after five years since mine was built, but as for character? i prefer mine and the streisand effect.
