Thumbs up if you think I should clean my laptop screen 😂🙃
dont worry mine is broken cant get worse than me 😂
Question: Do you have, and/or play, a 2nd violin and/or a viola-?
I'm curious because after playing now for 51 years, two of my 6 children, along the way, took up violin, too. However they recognized that with oncoming marriage & children, they needed the, proverbial, "δαγ-joβ", ergo: I inherited back two additional 'fine' violins. The problem is,{ and this is where I was wondering if you could help me}, I feel like I have to keep these 'other' two violins "played-in" so as to hinder any sedentary damage; ...however, my real Q. is now I am facing the problem of playing these violins throughout the week, but "they all have different angled, i.e. slanted bridges and this is really challenging me as, now over the last year or so, I an only coping to play relatively decently, but "worse", it's effecting what once was my much higher level of playing 'my' violin {as I was, obviously, used to its bridge's slant), but now my playing on all three violins has average-out and is a lower level on my main violin. Thus, this whole [long] Q. may be a moot point if *YOU* don't own but one violin, then this is not a problem for you, ...but "if" you 'do' own another violin: How do you adjust your bowing to the different slants/angles of the bridges-?!
(( => Thus, if you only own just the one violin, how would you advise me to deal with this problem-?))
Hey Sumina the speed in your hands especially the left makes me so jealous...wish I was half as fast on my guitar
Sumina you are such a beautiful and inspiring person!!🤩 I love watching your videos!
Can confirm the standing desk is a 10/10 but I've had my Sennheiser HD280PRO's for 10 years and they're still going strong 💪💪 music is a lot more fun to make and listen to when you have good equipment! Also great work by the cameraman 👏
Back home in Switzerland, one of my dad's Sennheiser headphones is also around 15 years old 😂 Also, standing desks are a game changer, totally agree 🎶
You're so professional and that work space is so sharp and clean, but as Paganini would say, a girl's bathroom is a different story! Love you Sumina 😍
Lovely!!! The next upgrade might be with acoustical treatment, I'll improve the sound perceived from your Mk4 and you could put a nice white fabric over it!
wow wow wow sumina thank you for listing EVERYTHING in the description! excited to do some online shopping lol 😅
Glad it seems to be useful! 😄
ayyyy i have the same table!!! it's so good!
wanna watch more skiiing video from you, look so peaceful.
Beautiful !
Love your desk setup!
7:54 hand choreography 10/10
My double life as a pantomime 🤫
I love how aesthetic your office space is! :)
Aww thank you Grace! My brain can breathe in this environment 😄
White, elegant n clean👍
YESSS the rick and morty sticker 😌
Thanks for sharing!
wow i can see the glow in your eyes❤
Amazing. Thx 4 shering!!!
Thumbs up ..
I love your playing,,
Great musician👏
Oh! Daruma. Basically, first, draw your eyes from the right side (the left eye of the daruma), and when your wish comes true, draw your right eye.I wonder if Sumina's wish hasn't come true yet?
Cool tour! Lots of good ideas for listening to recordings in a healthy way. How did you pick the colour of your chair in the end? They seem to have many options! Vielen dank!
anyone notice that Sumina looks a little like Tzuyu from TWICE?
Hi Sumina san, greetings from Japan. Great tour of your office. I would say that your daruma doll and a maneki neko cat ARE the lucky ones because they are placed in your room. ;-)
Haha too kind, thank you 😄
:-)
What's up Sumina, great video
Love the clean space!! Haha, I currently use a USB microphone but it works for my purposes. XD Lovveee the Rick sticker.
Thank you! Gotta have that Rick sticker 🤷🏻♀️ Hopefully one day I'll find a pickle Rick stickers LOL
@@SuminaStuder1 I have a Pickle Rick Funko pop 😁 🥒
@@StephEatsnTravels NO WAY 🤩
Hey! Please, you have a beautiful and so talented hands! nothing but beautiful. Have a nice day, and thanks a lot for all your advices ;)
nice top ~ i thought it was some distorted triangles patterns.... oh it maybe not XD
Hello Sumina, be well. Nice office upgrades, fun little stories, I'm still wondering where those ugly hands are, and another Rick and Morty fan? Heil yeah, good stuff!
I need the desk and the Momentum True!
Get yo hands on them 🤙🏼
Besides being an amazing artist you are a genius in marketing too... ;)

Can you do an apartment tour next? 😍😇🥲

One day 🤘🏻😄
... saludos Sumina. ..

I play violin sitting down. Maybe this is why i am so terrible 😞
Hi, I noticed you said “Skype lessons”. Audio quality-wise, is it better than Zoom?
@Trust the Fire My experience so far is that the audio quality depends on the student & my internet connection as well as audio equipment, and far less on the programs I've tried out. Zoom would be good if all of my students had ultra high speed internet set up (because then the sizable data would be processable with the upload/download speed) but currently, Skype matches my students and my situation best. Also, I prefer how Skype has a chat history that doesn't disappear after the call (good for when I send sheet music and the student will still have access to it after the lesson). Hope this helps! :)
The microphones tend to pick up a lot of bass due to the proximity effect, which basically means the closer you are to the mic the more bass it picks up and the farther you are the less bass!
I think the more modern microphones are being designed to have a more flat response throughout the frequency spectrum, but the newer headphones are definitely being calibrated for some slamming bass
Interesting! I had different experiences in terms of microphones but headphones do make a big difference, that's for sure 🎶
Since beauty is in the eye of the beholder, I have to disagree about your hands. :)
If you’re going the route of product endorsement you might think about links to your clothes. 10 people may want one of those microphones, but thousands want that shirt.
Hint: the shirt is IN the video.
SS- I see you linked to clothes in older videos. What fans really want is to hear you- your tone, nothing virtuosic, a song, anything. Touch the hair to the string, please.
"I'm dreaming of a White Christmas"
first
Well im kinda early... Lol
Welcomeeeee
Is that a Ray Chen designed violin case there Sumina? 😵😵
Lmao yes
My wood is clanking on a hard surface
I like your accent
Thank you!
Rick looks kinda SUS at 4:33
How can you afford all of this and rent and food and everything else?
Those online violin lessons must be paying off big time!
if the lessons are around 95$ per hour. she could earn over 1000$ clean every week. or more
We live in sad times, when a world-class violinist has to put on too-hot pants and make promo videos to earn a living...
come on, one third of the video is a commercial
Thanks for sharing your complaint! I also try to educate about acoustic sound production and share advice on what to look for when investing in an audio setup, regardless of the product that I am convinced of/highlight. If that knowledge wasn't worth the time you spent watching a third of my video... well, please feel free to tune in next time 🎶
@@SuminaStuder1 Sorry, wasn't trying to be mean or anything. I know first-hand how much effort and hard-work it takes to be a musician, let alone a professional musician and a youtuber at the same time. I just think it would have been a little bit better if you said at the beginning that you're going to review something in the video in order to avoid people like me who just assume it's a commercial and try to skip it, and then end up getting butt-hurt when they find out it's too long and start writing mean comments in the comment section, unaware that you would actually read them... sorry 'bout that...
