Just wanted to share my new cello! After 4 months of renting a student cello I know playing the cello is for me and wanted to invest in a quality instrument. The sound is breathtaking and the playability is night and day to the student cello I was playing on
It ain’t much but it’s honest work. This cello stuff is hard but extremely satisfying 🤘
Got some new spirocore tungsten C and G and Larsen standard A and D strings in! The C G and A strings all sounds and play great! The problem I’m having is the D string. When I play by the fingerboard it create this awful scratchy sound. When I play in the middle of fingerboard and bridge or just by the bridge it sounds fine. What’s going on?
The Larsen A sounds fantastic as soon as I put it on. The sounds is so bad I can only really play pieces in forte otherwise i get this sound. Is this normal? String have to settle for a few days? Thabk you all in advance!
Howdy yall, first time playing through blasphemous 2 and honestly very much enjoying it. I do question why I’m getting this in-game tutorial now? I’m about 9 hours into the game and have seen many of these roadblocks prior to encountering this one. Coming from playing HK and HKS so I like to play around and try things that may or might not work so I actually did figure out on my own that you could break these with the dive attack earlier in the game. But is this tutorial intentionally placed here or did the game bug out? No spoilers please! :)
Hello all, I have a quick question regarding the bow and tilting the stick towards/away from the player to play with flat or angled hair.
I’ve been taking cello lessons for several weeks now and my teacher keeps asking me to tilt the bow stick away from me so that I play with only flat hair on all strings. This makes my wrist bend a lot and I’m to apply weight/pressure towards the strings, so not directly down towards the ground. This is very contrary from what I’ve generally read and heard through online cello resources where it’s often suggested to tilt the stick towards you/hair towards the bridge so that the wrist is at a more neutral angle, you’re using less hair, and you can apply pressure down towards the ground.
The way my teacher tells me feels especially terrible on the A string when my arm is outstretched, wrist extremely bent, and I’m attempting to pronate when approaching the tip of the bow.
What’s actually correct? Should I trust my teacher and play everything with flat hair/stick pointed away from me? Should I incorporate tilting the stick towards me and using a bit less hair which feels way better/natural to me?
Any thoughts and feedback is greatly appreciated!
