    can you tell the gender of a violinist?

    I have my own theory on this but am not experienced enough to form a concrete opinion. So to you, do you think a violinist playing style/sound can be generalised based on their gender? If so, what characteristics can be attributed to each.

    well? I had a quick listen at the store, not too sure about it. It sounded more like parachute with a little radiohead experimental beats to it. I didn't like parachute so I am guessing I wouldn't like this either, too much melodrama but I did liked a rush of blood to the head.
