From Cassandra, Laura and all of us at Wood Violins:

Attention Viper Players!!! Please take this 10 minute survey, help a fellow Viper player graduate from college, AND (best of all) be entered in a drawing for a new Turbow!

One of our own Viper players (who also happens to be a Viper Vixen), Cassandra Sotos, has created a survey to better understand the interactions of your Viper playing experience. In addition to being a Viper player, Cassandra is a senior at the Penn State University Schreyer Honors College and is graduating with a degree in Industrial Engineering this May 2010. The results of the survey will be used in conjunction with Cassandra's academic honors thesis in engineering product design. We have also joined forces with Cassandra to use that information to help us better understand your needs as a Wood Violins customer so we can keep innovating great products for you!

It is important that we have as many responses as possible both for the academic thesis as well as our understanding of your interactions with your Viper. Please take this opportunity to tell us about your experiences and forward this survey to all of your Viper playing friends. When you take the survey, you will have the chance to enter for a drawing for a free Turbow; when you forward to a friend, they can input your email address as a referral and you will be entered for another chance to win!

Most of all, we promise that your email address or any other kind of information will NEVER be compromised or shared!

The survey can be found at the following link:

THANK YOU from Cassandra and all of us at Wood Violins!

Ok, did it. Pretty painless. When you pull my name to win, send me the one with skulls and red horsehair. Thanks!

P.S. If you haven't seen the turbow, there are some really nice photos and an article in the lastest issue of Strings magazine.

I did too I planned to get a pro Turbow somewhen anyway, but this might be a quicker way

Strangely the survey did not appear with the link on the WV newsletter, the link here works though.

Also I think the survey is quite good though I'd have put some different weight on some questions (but that's mainly personal opinion) like being more specific on equipment and less detailed with case/travel questions.

Regards,

Reinhard
