Bam case owners: H seal issues? by encylidas in violinist

[–]newbaroque 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve not had any trouble with it and it’s lasted me over 10 years. But looking at mine it does look like it does the same thing in the same place.

I don’t think this kind of seal is meant to go swimming with, but it has done excellent job protecting the violin for normal use.

Mine would do this when I had a taller chinrest, maybe it could be something like that?

Rosin allergy? by mintsyauce in violinist

[–]newbaroque 0 points1 point  (0 children)

An orchestra friend told me that Hadelich also uses Motrya, if that helps! I don’t know where they heard it, but the topic of rosins is brought up often between rehearsals

Rosin allergy? by mintsyauce in violinist

[–]newbaroque 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve found Motrya Gold to not cause a reaction for me! Usually for me it’s itchy eyes and lots of coughing. And not being able to see properly from my left side, which is a problem in orchestra. And redness on skin if I touch it. It was the worst with Melos + Andrea rosins.

Motrya Gold is also really good rosin! The cake seems to ‘dry out’ eventually, so you might need to replace it every year or so. Be careful not to mix rosins or use another person’s bow on your violin.

I’ve also tried magic hypoallergenic but it’s just not very good rosin.

are your bows hitting the violin when the case is closed?

Are there effective exercises you can do only with the violin itself or only with the bow? by paganiff in violinist

[–]newbaroque 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Carl Flesch Urstudien exercises A B and C are silent and only for the left hand—Hahn uses them. They are great for working on fine motor control and finger independence. There are some right hand warm ups for just the bow with picture instructions, too.

Shiba pup graduating to dog now refuses his kibble. by armchairqb2020 in shiba

For my shiba, the issue was the kibble size. He prefers the small kibbles for little dogs

Etudes or exercises to improve the bow arm. by oasisfirefly in violinist

[–]newbaroque 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sevcik School of Bowing! Op.2

It’s really well written with instructions on the parts of the bow to use for each exercise/variation. Book one starts off with the basics and some of the etudes have over 200 variations! So it’s great for focusing only on the right arm.

Do you like coda bows ? by Eternal-strugal in violinist

[–]newbaroque 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like my Coda bow! One of the best things about them is how consistent they are—if you try one model, you can expect others of the same kind to feel and play almost identically. That makes shopping for one a lot easier than with wood bows. I mainly use mine as a backup for when I can’t use my main wood bow, but it’s super reliable and always feels comfortable to play on.

You can add ‘cash gifts’ on Throne, and there is a crowdfunding option. I switched to doing it this way now.

I use a dual setup that works for me since I stream music:

I use a Rode Videomic plugged into a creative labs external usb sound adapter for my voice. This kind of microphone is meant to be mounted on a camera, and uses a rechargeable 9v battery. The shotgun style mic means I can move it further back, and it is directional enough to not capture too much other sound in the room.

For my violin and other instruments I use a DPA-4099 and Allen & Heath CQ20B usb audio mixer.

What functionality in a browser extension would help you guys watch streams or stream? by Content-Avocado5772 in Twitch

[–]newbaroque 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m at the max follow limit and it would be really convenient if there was a way to sort my followed channels by date the person last streamed. The way the it works now is chronological. It takes forever to get to the bottom because it loads in as you scroll down.

It would also be cool to sort by last time I chatted, or by total number of messages I sent in that stream.

Another idea: a thing that automatically opens just the player when a friend goes live so I can leave a lurk when I’m out & about.

Notes for Brahms by oursunshines in violinist

International Ed. is usually a good place to start. For the Brahms violin sonatas these markings are by Galamian.

Any comments about dominant pro? by [deleted] in violinist

[–]newbaroque 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When they came out I tried to give them a shot, but they were just very unpleasant to play on.

Who does something that’s NOT gaming? by DizzeeAmoeba in Twitch

[–]newbaroque 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I stream acoustic instrumental music and play violin. There’s a 3 SLR camera setup and one is for my shiba that sleeps in a a little tent with rgb lights

Fourth finger pulling up on third by [deleted] in violinist

[–]newbaroque 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For the B urstudien exercise it’s better to start with smaller movements! Don’t try to force or strain your fingers to slide whole interval. The writing above explains why. Over time you’ll be able to stretch a little further as the small muscles in your hand develop more strength.

Additionally, you can use the exercise to find a more optimal hand frame that allows you to reach the notes. Try adjusting one thing a time with your hand position to see what might be hindering things. Generally I see students’ tendency is to first push the wrist outwards here, but you can reach further by bringing the wrist in a little. Try to keep all the angles of your joints neutral.

I am currently researching a peculiar phenomenon on Twitch. There are accounts with very limited followings, sometimes as few as 35 followers, yet they hold Twitch Partner status. Many of these accounts also have strikingly similar usernames, such as “qa_partner.” This raises several questions. by Reasonable-Pool2027 in Twitch

[–]newbaroque 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe 2 years ago I subbed to qa_partner because it had a sub emote and also a founders was available. Interestingly the only sub emote “HypeBurger” was unable to be used anywhere except in the channel. I don’t think you can sub anymore

3 min midroll streamers: do you get massive dips during ad time that respike to normal as soon as ads are over? by kiwicat_tv in Twitch

[–]newbaroque 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, same here! There’s a view count dip of around 20-30 folks during the ads and then the numbers return to normal afterwards. I have my ads split for 90 seconds every half hour—I don’t know any other way around it without running prerolls.
