One five-stringed electric cello (or viola de gamba?).

Three bows (I think I counted correctly). No, its four.

Four guys.

1/5 of Ravel's Bolero.

(And one string player who actually wears his wedding ring on his left hand!)

Would interfere with left hand fingering of the notes.

Dude, you know how many gigs I've played with guys who don't wear their wedding rings and then you can't tell they're married and then I crush on them or even flirt with them, and then they mention their wives? Man. Annoying. :-)

Oh, I might have some idea from my own experience! *giggle*

It didn't with my left hand fingering, when I wore a wedding ring...but then, maybe fiddle is different. I know what you're saying though. A lot of guys in the fiddle world don't wear the left hand ring. Women tend to, though, at least it seems that way.

Just what I've heard! :) I'm not married (and I don't wear rings anyway!) so I don't have my own experience to share. I can see especially in higher positions having a ring be a problem....

Ah, thanks!! I was curious as to what it interfered with!

I thought that it was also to protect the instrument, as with wrist watches (shift up -- WHAM! okay, maybe rings, not so much).

I could see that, too.
