    I agree with Caren, ultimate sharing for engaging with. Thanks for putting this out there, it’s a great track! I could see this instrument being a nice compliment to fiddling, moving from one to the other, offering good balance in body position change and sound variance 🎶 🙂 Loving what your putting down, Debbie

    What a great, all encompassing guide, and available to all. Great work on this folks.

    I have found some folks could use a bit of info on cleaning their bow hair.

    Lots of youtube resources on this, here are a couple I’ve benefited from:

    Thanks for sharing folks. @susieq, I tagged you here to ensure you see Mike’s above reply. The hearing aids topic with recording/zoom sessions is a good one. Bluetooth to the apple device to hear the audio coming through our microphones. Be interesting to hear if this works for you, Susieq. Good topic to hear from the wider community as well 🙂

    I like how you share your process with this. Listening, especially live and with our instrument, and as we’re ready,…[Read more]

      Hi Beth, great question. Under the support tab there is a page called ‘subscription questions’. If you look at the question on that page saying ‘how do I cancel or upgrade my subscription?’, that answer will show you how to look at your current subscription.

        Debbie, very enjoyable to hear you play this. Smooth and clear sounds, rhythm steady, and emphasizing notes on beat 1&3 sounds great! Changing string tuning is a challenge your taking on beautifully. Thanks for the inspiration 🎶

            Thanks for reaching out and sharing this.
            Would it be ok if we shared a link to your post in the member newsletter, to facilitate more folks to see it?

            Some ideas come to me:
