Hello! I love all your videos and have been watching for years, but I only just noticed your violin setup. No "E" string fine tuner and all mechanical pegs. First time I've seen that. And a rubbery shoulder pad. Just a lovely violin, setup, and over all that, player. ❤
Nathan, were you ever in the Lex KY Phil? I think I remember you when I was in that orchestra as asst. principal viola with Joe Baber. If not in the orchestra at that time, I do recall Mason and others talking about you.
I had a coach make a good point the other day. At the beginning, it says ben marcato and largamente. Well-marked and heavy. Why does everyone play this legato and connected?
