and it would be heavy as fuck. if you held it by the neck it would probably bend. and you couldn't tension the strings.
probably a pretty shitty fiddy
Was... was that the Fiddle the devil used in the competition? Cuz if so, no fucking wonder he lost.
The song also didn't say pure gold. I bet someone could rig up a 14k fiddle.
If you rest it on your shoulder and are gentle when tensioning the strings, it can probably work, but don't go too aggressive on the strings or they'll probably snap (if gold) or bend the tensioners.
I'm going with "plausible" but totally impractical.
how do you tension soft gold strings without them stretching?
Very... gently...
