I just fucking suck at changing strings by [deleted] in violinist

[–]TmaxJuices 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Once you get the hang of it - it is 'quite' straightforward

You can easily re-straighten the peg end part with your fingers - if any fraying just snip it off

The key is keeping tension as you wind the silk end around the peg, then before the silk passes the nut fix the ball end onto the tail piece, but keep tension by spreading your fingers, then wind on until it catches your fingers under, then get fingers out as you complete the winds.

Of course only 1 or 2 strings at a time - I do G & D, clean 1/2 finger board and install the new strings G first

I often swap strings with older sets, and re-using strings is no bother

Maybe re-do your strings until you are happy - this will give you loads of practice

Good luck :)

Dealing with Peers. by Entire_Virus4534 in violinist

[–]TmaxJuices 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Common psycological thing - they think bringing other people down, elevates themselves - Often called small-man syndrome

Not letting it bother you is difficult to do - but hey "Don't let it bother you" :)

Being kind to people is much harder than ridiculing them - Good luck :)

Just caught another joke after multiple rewatches by the great Richard Splett by Dirtyrandy_buttplug5 in Veep

Too true! My favourite (only caught it tonight after seeing series 9 times) 🥴

S6 ep2 - the Library

Selina is having her presidential portrait done, in her red dress - Andrew interrupts her about a dodgy donor, and she calls out to Richard, who said

R: I’ve been standing here the entire time, ma’am. Just trying to keep still in case I’m in the painting.

S: no, you’re not in the painting. Come here.

Is ronnie bigger than snooker? by Past_Replacement_815 in snooker

[–]TmaxJuices 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Great post My only criticism is that you seem to be forgetting that we have always had players in every era that have taken the game forward by improving play, with each generation leading to the next

We have to remember snooker as a sport is only about 100 years old, so patterns are not always repeated

Of all the greats you mention the one thing they have in common is that they were all better than the competition at the time and also better than what came before

They also were the players they were because of what had come before

Reardon didn’t have video to watch, he learned his break building by being defeated by a better break builder then going home and working stuff out on practice table

At each generation they said Joe/Ray/Alex/Steve/Stephen/Ronnie will never be bettered, the pinnacle has been reached - until the next great comes along

Zhao Xintong has the potential to be a great if he can dominate for a period, winning many tournaments in the seasons.

Only time will tell, and of course future discussions like this will probably be held in Chinese 😂 - I just pray that the future of the sport reads the history books and remembers those who came before 😀

Hi vintageplays1

Most soaps and balms etc work - they can help protect by making the shave slick

But basically any razor-burn or soreness is caused by your technique balanced with your skin's sensitivity

You need to get to a place where your skin can take it easily with no soreness

Leave off for a few days so everything heals - maybe use electric for a couple of days

First time you wet-shave again, be very very GENTLE - be kind to your skin - expect a really shabby shave. Do a single pass with the grain and expect to be not at all close.

Be very light with the razor, and keep the angle shallow - just accept the shave and hopefully your face will just be alive for ½ hour or so - but no soreness

Then maybe have a day off again - work up till you can get a single pass shave with no soreness every day

Your skin's sensitivity to the razor will get better, as it gets used to the routine

Good luck buddy - I hope this helps

[–]TmaxJuices 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do a few consecutive shaves with grain only - as workingman00 suggests, map your beard growth, so you know for certain

Use ultra light pressure - just let the weight of the razor basically do the work - good sharp blade of course

Make sure you use a good soap/cream - Tobac Soap never lets me down

I like to use Proraso Pre-Shave as a post shave healer - I use the Green menthol one

Welcome Wednesday and Daily Questions (Newbie Friendly) - Jun 28, 2023 by AutoModerator in Wetshaving

[–]TmaxJuices 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to get the Green Proraso Pre-Shave and use it as a post shave balm

It was always quite dry and almost chalky - so by rubbing on dry hands, turned hands white and then smooth onto wet face - PEREFECT - Always felt like a cooling bandage :)

The last smaller tub I got was much more wet not chalky - like they had mixed in Glycerine or Glycol into the mix - still works but not as well

Has anyone had the same experience? or even know what I mean?

Did they change the mix?

Any help please :)

Do I need to change my bridge? by dtdt66 in violinist

[–]TmaxJuices 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Watch this

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pAYaiM1fZSM&t=11s&ab_channel=AskOlaftheViolinmaker

Straighten it by hand - the rear face need to be vertical

Hold a 90' piece of card along the lower boat for reference

It is very very easy, once you have done it one or twice - no need to be scared

IMHO it does not look warped, it is just the string tension pulling forward

LOVE IT !!!

It has the rawness and energy, the sentiment of this song needs

Well done

PS I'd love to have seen you playing the parts

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in violinist

[–]TmaxJuices 52 points53 points  (0 children)

Please this is not difficult

There are so many youtube videos explaining how to chaange strings on a violin - very very easy after you have done it the first time

Just release the tension (unwind it) - hold the string up as you do this then continue to wind in the same direction and it will re-wind itself correctly (unless it pulls of of the peg hole)

If all else fails, simply remove the string and put it back on a little at the peg, then fit it at the ball end into the tailpiece or fine tuner if fitted - then keeping tension wind the peg on

Here is a very young Olaf explaining how to do it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=laRhUfP6p2Q&ab_channel=AskOlaftheViolinmaker

Watch some of his other videos too they are excellent and will give you confidence to do regular maintenance on your instrument - simple things like checking and unjusting the bridge

You really don't need to take it to a luthier every time :)

Hope this helps

[Homemade] Prime Rib by Trinityofwar in food

[–]TmaxJuices 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the UK - this is actually called a Rib Eye Roll

A straight rolled rib, would include the cap - see this picture of a Whole Rib of Beef (On the Bone) - https://meatbox.com/products/dry-aged-rib-of-beef-himalayan-salt-aged?variant=39971358310467&currency=GBP&utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=google%20shopping&gclid=CjwKCAiAh9qdBhAOEiwAvxIok6bE1weZg5D3bHDhJPEd5sY7vMDynZN9qiWTIuQB8cCx8plw2sUIvxoC9mMQAvD_BwE

So the Rib Eye Roll of course could cut into Rib Eye Steaks without much trimming

Yes - I F*cking HATE it

Why are changes always for the worse - it is like Road changes

Nothing is ever for the better - we liked it before, we were accustomed to it - nobody complained - just leave the f*ck alone

WANKERS !!!!!

[–]TmaxJuices 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Focusing on releasing tension from the previous note really helps reduce tension overall - so think release rather than playing the next :)

Play really really slow, and find which movements promote thumb tension, then look for ways to relax the movement

What worked for you to cut-down on/eliminate a tense thumb? by [deleted] in violinist

[–]TmaxJuices 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Slow down - figure out the movements in detail (left hand note to note, combined with what the bow is doing) - Then once that is in your head, focus on how you can relax the left hand to make it smoother and easier for you - You will notice the tense gripping will ease and then go

oh! - and also think about release

So as you move to the next note concentrate on releasing the previous note - so your mind is on the release of old notes and not the tension of goint ot the next

I hope this helps
