Classical wooden violin was meant to be played in concert halls or indoors in general. Nowadays, there is a huge demand of performances in very untraditional places and many times the conditions for wooden instrument can be very harmful.. People are bored of hearing concerts in concert halls and become more and more attracted by idea of experiencing new things. If audience doesn't want to come to us anymore, we, musicians, have to go to them and bring the music outside the concert hall into the world!! however, every time when playing in untraditional places that are not meant to be used for playing wooden instrument, one has to considerate the fact that it might be harmful for the instrument.. I myself could not even DARE to do such thing as the violin I play is loaned to me and is not my property.. I agree that the sound quality might not be as good as the one of Stardivarius or Guarneri and I would definitely continue playing wooden violin as well. Having two instruments would give me much more versatility and could be a great advantage in expanding the possibilities to perform in any conceivable place..
