      It's kind of amazing to be given permission to screw around. There are variables that, as a craftsman, you KNOW you are not supposed to change because the result is bad, and making bad things is wasteful and maybe even damaging to your reputation. But once you can kind of crack the shell of "what's right" and get into that "We've allocated some resources to experimentation... for science and demonstration" -- then the creativity starts to boil. It's totally awesome.

      Sreshta Loka I always ignored my shitty string crossings for the past 20 years. But in actuality it's not just hitting the notes, it's also HOW you're bowing that accounts for the sound so much. I am also going through Sevcik. Technically the double stop book is doing similar things so I'm more partial to Josephine Trott's Book of Double Stops.

  • @zaptronic

    So my grandfather (born 1899) played a little bit of violin, and he always had this story about when he was young he had been to a concert in church, where a guy was playing a violin where he somehow had intwined the strands of the bow *between* the strings, so all four strings always played at the same time. My grandfather attested with great vigor "it sounded just like the church organ" and "it was amazing".
    Clearly the dude was somehow playing chord-stuff on all four strings somehow. Could you guys try something like that?

      @JohnDoe-xx8yw Před 4 lety +23

      Course they do. The design varies a lot from guitar to guitar and brand to brand, but they absolutely do. You need the cutoff point from where the instrument is strung and where it's played, otherwise it's just going to buzz against the body. If you look at a guitar like an Epiphone Sheraton II, it's much more obvious than say, a Fender Stratocaster which has a bridge that's almost flush with the body. Instead of elevating the Strat's bridge, they string the guitar THROUGH the body. But because of the design of a lot of guitars to have the bridge flush/almost flush with the body, it can be easy to miss it if you aren't looking closely

      My mother was playing in a quartet onstage during a concert. They started the piece, and as they started the cello's bridge popped out. The others kept playing and the cello player got the bridge back in and didn't miss her entrance. That's when you know you are playing with professionals. My mom (on viola) said she was having a panic on the inside as she watched her friend getting it back in.
