My violin is male and I cannot explain why. Maybe something to do with the sound of it, it's a sweet but strong sound. I've noticed since I've been coming to these forums that some musicians give names to their instruments like they are a person....I wonder if professionals do the same thing or if it's the habit of keen amateurs!
