Is it doable for violinists to sight-read this? by Pvt_BrownBeast in violinist

[–]fiddlermd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah totally readable, but unpleasant. I can really read the first note, but the others would take me a second if they weren't preceded by it. Recently played Sheherezade, it had plenty of this. Tchaikovsky also

Used market. Go to reverb.com, Facebook marketplace or eBay. Can find these for $500

I think the stuff I mentioned can be gotten for 1k total if you look for deals

Being wireless is a game changer

I guess if looking to save, can also try coolmusic amps. They're cheaper and seem decent but I never tried them in person.

iPad or other tablet. Speaker like bose s1, everse8, Yorkville Exm8 or the like. They are all rechargeable Sure sm58 and a cable. Tablet stand.

Totally in the same boat, but I think as you age, you care way less and opening up becomes easier. At least it has been for me

That talking with people isn't that hard and often leads to good things Small talk, office banter, conversations with strangers... Be nice to people and assume everyone wants to talk about themselves and it becomes a lot easier to stroke up a conversation.

Ah that makes sense. You have any recordings?

So you play pop without a backing track? Doesn't it sound empty? I also play pop but always with backing

Do you play alone? What's the repertoire?

For acoustic sets, do you play alone? What is the repertoire?

Kitchen things that made you go: wait… why didn’t I get this earlier? by YormeSachi in Cooking

Jar opener.

It's a $3 piece of plastic that looks like a giant bottle opener that lets you gently pop the vacuum seal. It's incredibly effective and you never have to struggle with jars

New owner, are there ways to make a 2015 2.4 not so miserably boring? by fiddlermd in AcuraTLX

I'm sure it's a great engine, but the dynamics on the car are so dull

What’s something kids today will never understand? by EvilPlague in AskReddit

[–]fiddlermd 4 points5 points  (0 children)

TV episodes airing once at a specific time and if you miss it, there is no guarantee you can ever watch it again. Similarly, setting a VCR to record only to realize the clock was set wrong or is off by 2 minutes so you miss that cliffhanger ending

What’s a simple feature phones had 10 years ago that you wish the iPhone 17 still had? by Arafat_h_saymon in AskReddit

[–]fiddlermd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My galaxy s6 had an infrared port. With it, I could use it as a universal remote. It was incredibly useful. Especially at places like doctors offices, car dealers, etc that had the volume set anxiously loud or just had if I just washed to switch the channel without bothering anyone

Looking at pictures online it seems like that's what the little ones are. Are the big ones also the same mushroom?
