[edit] -- just read your second post, where you say fff, and a group of celli: for that, divisi is far better [/edit]

orchestrators I have talked to say that you will get less sound out of a double stop than a divis because the tuning discrpincies cause it to sound less full. This would be especialy true of a slightly dificult double stop.
If the piece is rehersed a lot and the players practice the part a lot maybe that changes.

"but I still say you'd get more power with divisi than with a doublestop"
This is total MISINFORMATION and I am surprised that DG accepts this.
A double, triple or quadruple stop increases the sound level, and a divisi divides it. You have effectively more strings playing simultaneously with multiple stops. Beethoven knew this, and used it prominently in the Eroica for sforzandi.
Any questions?
Contact him via a psychic. Don't complain to me, because I don't really care. I just am waiting for some spackle to dry on walls I am trying to paint and had nothing better to do than attempt to be irritating. [6]
