I’ve been watching your videos for quite a while now. I’ve learned So much. So now I have a full-size cello that I have put new strings on after watching your video. Have a basic beginner cello book and am ready to get started with cello lesson number one. I have some musical background mostly with woodwind instruments. Taking on a string instrument challenge has always been in the works. I will be watching your videos fiercely, as I tried to become an accomplished cello player. Wish me luck I don’t give up easy.
Greatly appreciate this channel for sure, thanks a million. Enjoying woodworking, this was great. The (edit) cut at 4:29 was disheartening, as he was sharing info. Although it was viewed as "secret" the gentleman enjoyed informing viewers of the wood origin, those who truly know, do not mind sharing because its ultimately the skill with the wood and not just the wood itself. Those who don't know conceal and gatekeep. After all, how many people can actually go to the exact origin. Only a few of us have passports and means. Smile*
Thank you for the comparison. I had a questio about the case you are using. It seems to be different that the one I have. I cannot fit both the endpin and the cello. I do not see additional cases for sale in their website. Where did you get yours? I do not have CR cello though, I have an NXTa.
I am currently studying with a phenomenal violinist. Toured Europe as a young player. I was fortunate to be accepted to her school. Anyway, I always gain watching your videos. She is also pleased to have me watching you.
I always used to think on how hard this piece was but ever since i watched this video i learned that it was a super easy piece thanks to you cello coach!!!
I am a cellist, bassist, performing on stages large and small. Enough to make a living, touring. I am always disappointed by those who write critics who usually don't play, or play well.
Just bought a cello 🎉 also, just broke a cello string 🎉 that's ok though because I just bought 2 more full sets🎉 now I can break an additional string on Sunday and have another to replace once I finally learn my lesson on not over tightening my strings🎉 no regerts
I appreciate this video because it helps me to understand just how Cello bow technique is completely different from Violin or Viola bow technique. It is a completely different discipline entirely. I sensed it had to be different, but I had no idea of the mechanics of it until now I begin to see it.
This Guadagnini doesn't look similar too the other ones that are very thick in the midsection, almost looking like a mini Montagnana. People like those because the scale length is smaller and more manageable for smaller hands.
I received the Theunis wolf tuner yesterday. Took me a little adjusting and to get accustomed but I am definitely sold a day later, having played a lot with it and comparing without it too. Best device I have tried for wolf taming. I would rate the Krenz modulator I also have used but I would rate it as 2nd to the Theunis. The Krenz I find dampens the overall sound of my cello a bit more than the Theunis, and I feel something missing. I have a bigger problem with the Krenz: it started leaving marks in the varnish. Not cool. I stopped using it early enough to polish out the circular marks using a polish given to me by a luthier. Now I have the Theunis and it meets my needs, resolves the wolf issue and also leaves more of the natural cello sound intact. There's still some sound dampening, but it's a small compromise. The natural wolf on my cello is at the Eb. With the Theunis now I can play the first chord of Bach suite 5 Allemande without having that crunchy wolfy chord. There are times I may remove the wolf tuner, but it's very easy, like 10 seconds to remove and 20 seconds to install. It's like having a fancy dinner jacket for formal dining. The Theunis is indeed a work of art in and of itself and I'm very happy I found one. Thank you, Mr. Theunis! Yours is a gift to all cellists with the wolf at their heels.
I play the Morin Khuur but of Chinese Inner Mongolian Style (a.k.a. Matouqin) and, I'm still learning. I also own the Mongolian style too. They are both using Nylon strings. Animal strings are more common in not so humid areas. I haven't tried and is curious about using cello strings on morin khuur and set it to viola tuning. Also because I have a cello too.😅
In my view the cello is the instrument that most closely matches the human voice. The tone and registry therefore is very recognizable making the cello a very "likeable" instrument.
