    Excellent points. I had a piano teacher in college who had the same idea. First you memorize the piece and then you learn to play it and make it your own.

    Nice tone and that is more than half the battle!!! On a violin that is.

    Nice playing. Very sad. Wonder what the lament for the first wife sounded like?

    Sounds a tad like stagnation. . . try something new and different. Let your interest and excitement guide you to your next tune, scale or exercise. If you wait to be perfect you will stall out totally. Keep going!!!! Right now, pause and learn some holiday tunes . . . or winter tunes. If you really are stuck and want some feedback, I have…[Read more]

    Kvmceff replied to the topic Incredibow in the forum All about fiddles 8 months, 2 weeks ago

    It’s here. I can tell I haven’t been playing!! My first notice was a sense of differently balanced. I was pushing harder on the Incredibow. Sound is subtly different. Maybe the bow changes are more distinct. Or crisper. A tad more loudness. Not sure if I would say fuller sound, though.

    Will keep at it and play more. Is there a way to share recordings?

    Kvmceff replied to the topic Third finger reach issue when playing low 2 in the forum Technique Questions 8 months, 2 weeks ago

    Hi, I was trying to recreate your dilemma, I would check the wrist to see that you are pretty straight and relaxed. And if your hand is just small you might have to relax the 2nd finger so much it does raise off the string as you stretch. Or consider a 7/8 size fiddle? Does any of this help?
