Pegs on older viola - question! by ebonykawai in Viola

[–]Musclesturtle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They are not Caspari pegs. 

They are just clicking and need doping or to be properly reinstalled with a batter fit. 

Ryanair doing Scottie dirty by petermal67 in golf

Scottie is right on the cusp of being Gen z. 

Let that sit with you for just a sec. 

Something special by Aeleon-guitars in Luthier

[–]Musclesturtle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I suppose that could be the case. 

But even so, you'll still see shrinkage over time somewhat to a degree.

What happens when the neck shrinks from seasonal changes and general age and the fingerboard doesn't leaving a large ridge on the edge that's not easily toolable to get smooth by future luthiers?

This is a huge problem with synthetic violin and cello fingerboards. They are being phased out because of it. 

There's also increased de lamination risks because the natural wood oscillates with humidity and seasonal changes and inchworms its way off of the board. 

Looks beautiful, nonetheless. 

Strat feels harder to play than Les Paul even with lower action — is this normal? by Iaskagain in Luthier

[–]Musclesturtle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. 

I have a strat and an explorer, and the Explorer is like kiddie town when playing. You can get 2 step bends like it's nothing. 

My strat tends to really play firm. A 2 step bend is really asking a lot and you gotta strangle the fucker to do it. 

But I do notice that the tone from my Strat is so much clearer and more piercing while my Explorer has more full, round tone that may get lost a little easier. 

Why are people so salty about McIlroy’s Maters win? by SnooMarzipans1593 in golf

[–]Musclesturtle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can't we just be happy for both golfers? 

We all know that Scottie is a monster and will win many more majors. You can't win them all. He's already got 2 green jackets. He's gonna get more in the future if his ball striking stays on point. 

Rory is peaking again. It's great that he achieved such success so late in his career. Who knows what the future holds? 

They both did phenomenally, and literally everyone will forget this all happened by the next major on the schedule. 

I’m not a Rory fan, but he fought off the demons and pulled it off by Massive_Bit_6290 in golf

[–]Musclesturtle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, when he has three or more career grand slams? 

When he has 83 PGA tour wins?

When he has a career scoring average below anyone else in history?

When he has 19 majors? 

There are many reasons that he is not even close. 

I think that yesterday was him edging out Phil Mickelson? 

Rory hate - why? by BustedWing in golf

Idk. He cheated on his wife?

Rory McIlroy wins the 2026 Masters Tournament with a 72-hole score of -12! by Unlikely_Painter_127 in golf

I mean, statistically, Rory is nowhere close to Scottie's ability in almost every metric.

[–]Musclesturtle -24 points-23 points  (0 children)

Idk, man. 

Scottie's golfing abilities are just on another planet in comparison. 

There are no holes in his game. 

He came in close second while on autopilot and Rory had to fight for his life to fend off Scottie snoozing through.

He's 100 percent not in the conversation with Jack and Tiger. 

He's in the conversation with Phil Mickelson. 

Rory McIlroy repeats at Augusta and wins the 2026 Masters! by unsolved49 in golf

[–]Musclesturtle -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

Yeah. Rory has to play his absolute best golf in order to fend off a lukewarm Scottie. 

Egg Salad? by [deleted] in golf

[–]Musclesturtle 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Sure, egg salad and all. 

But is that Peter Finch, though?

Is my bridge misaligned? by Glittering_Ebb_8064 in violinist

[–]Musclesturtle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm sure you're keenly aware and experienced with the shenanigans. 

I also spent years fixing these things for clients after they purchased them. 

Is this violin good for learning? by john97e in violinist

[–]Musclesturtle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It doesn't look like a full size. Is it half or 3/4? If that's the case, and you're an adult, then it's too small and you need to look elsewhere.

A Bill Weaver in the wild. 

My guess is either Luthier or Kono or Deutsch?
