[@maryreynders]

@@cellodiscovery yes it is 😊 I’m so impressed with your website and what you are doing

[@cellodiscovery]

@@maryreynders - Oh, Mary!! So wonderful to see you on here! And thank you. 🙂

It looks like you barely have to press the string to get a beautiful sound. I have to gorilla mine down. What is your setup with your strings please?? Thank you.

[@cellodiscovery]

Correct - the left hand is barely touching the strings. The right hand bows with the normal weight. And I use the Versum Solo Strings.
