Great video, really easy to follow, just want to check before I make a mistake.. When cleaning the slides, do you push the snake right the way through? Why not push the snake all the way through to the valve casings?... won't that just push the buildup around in the tubing??
1. I have no idea the lyre is so strong as to (partially) support the weight of the piano. 2. Those guys are strong! The grand weights so much and yet they can lift one side of it. 😋
Absolutely. A lot of the time, the drawbacks of starting on one of these instruments are substantially less noticeable than the drawbacks of starting on a beginner model. To give an easy example, there's not a person in the world who'll say starting on a Selmer Bundy bassoon is a better choice than a Renard 41 (or a Renard 51). And a Jordan Weisberg Custom Bassoon is somewhere slightly beneath a professional instrument, but you can take one of them from first notes to the end of an undergrad degree
I listened to this again and die Seth did a good job to the final when he talked about tuning just four lugs due to the fact the drums was below fundamental. The gentlemen asking the questions had excellent questions and wish there was more time available more even more thorough answers for educations or students interested learning this art. This is an ART and skill together to do this. This takes years to get the knack for clearing drums consistently. Seth would admit and I am sure was under the gun for time but there is soooooo much more to discuss on final clearing techniques that were not covered here.Caution the gauge he used to equalize the torque DOES NOT guarantee the terminal pitches will be all the same. New students be aware of this . Yes it will -I guess provide some semblance of equal torque- but many factors go into getting all the terminals with the same pitch. I am sure if these two gentlemen had more time they could explain in more detail some of these issues. But in all due respect this is only the START of the conversation for learning the ART of clearing the head. But thanks to you both Keep this mind to for the high achiever and one who wants to want a very musical sounding timpano is this -Unfortunately the timpano has but its very nature and can not theoretically be fixed is the overtone series for a timpano can never be totally in tune -It is called inharmonicity . That is another discussion that serious students need to study but I know would need to have another session.
You know how stupid I feel having spent hundreds of hours practicing for the piano (on a keyboard lmao) and barely knowing anything about the actual mechanisms inside the damn thing
Wish I had seen this back in high school. While I eventually learned cleaning techniques, this would have saved me quite a few complications. Thanks for sharing!
