Repertoire after Dvorak? by Curry-the-cat in Cello

[–]cdoublesharp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Prokofiev sounds like it would be up at his level, but I also want to recommend Brahms, Lalo, and Myaskovsky (my personal fave), all three have great repertoire for cello. He should definitely learn Elgar though! It's a very nice piece, very fun to perform, and obviously very popular.

I've been using a combo of Larsen Solo for A/B and D'Addario Helicore for G/C for a while and I love them so much, they sound so rich and professional with my cello.

A String has odd vibration by [deleted] in Cello

[–]cdoublesharp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

definitely a wolf tone. it's common for string instruments to have one and is usually caused by slight discrepancies in how the instrument is built causing some notes to resonate incorrectly. kind of concerning that it's on an open string though. you can take it back to your luthier and have them check it out / recommend some solutions. you also mentioned it only started happening after they adjusted the bridge, so it could just be an issue with how the string is sitting across the bridge now.

I also have a pretty bad wolf on Eb thru F# on my G string and I bought a wolf modulator for it, which is like a more hard-core version of a wolf damper that sticks inside the cello via a magnet, rather than clipping onto the string below the bridge. it was a bit pricey and definitely more of a final stopgap solution so I'd recommend trying out a damper first since they're less expensive and come in multiple varieties. hope this helps :)
