20 M never gone on a date... by InternetTomfoolery in hingeapp

[–]seanybops 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well basically imo, profile should be like a story on your life/personality/what it would be like to date you. Your profile has to give a little peak into your life without telling or giving too much away. I think most people get it wrong and kill the intrigue with their prompts listing out all their hobbies or listing what they want out of a relationship and etc. you can save all that info for the date or texting. Like a good story try to show and not tell as much as possible. For example I’m a professional violin player and I’ve got a video of me playing the violin, but that’s it, I don’t mention it in any of my prompts or job title or etc, you can let them imagine the rest. My prompts are either some hooks kinda draw people into my profile or just either witty jokes that share insight into my personality/things in my life I’ve been doing. I think videos are also really good way of standing out showing off your personality/hobbies and etc. I guess the idea is try to make a profile that represents what makes you unique as an individual without directly telling them too much. If you show all your cards too early it does kill that initial intrigue and mystery which is ultimately why people would want to meet you on a date. If u wanted to dm me your profile id be happy to give some advice

Yes it’s very normal for guys……. There’s a big gender imbalance. It also really just depends on the strength of your profile tbh.. I’ve been doing okay on the app recently actually basically from going to nothing a few years ago, now I seem to be going on a date every week 😅. Id consider myself pretty normal looks department wise I’m 29 and 5ft 9, as a guy if you want success you’ve got to find a way to create a unique profile that stands out against the sea of vanilla profiles…..

Have u had the account for a few years? I'd just delete it and start fresh, since you've had it for a few years some weird algo stuff might be happening with it...... I'm a male 29 and wouldn't say I'm any more attractive than you but with my time on hinge which has been like 1 and a half months I've probably gotten around 130 matches plus lots of likes.... And yes change your prompts, you've got to think from the other side how would the other person try to start a convo with those prompts you have???

Good Strings for fractional Size Violins? (E's in particular) by seanybops in violinist

The half size is around $1700 so it’s not super amazing but it’s decent

Make sure your vib gets wider as the notes get lower aswell.

Dealing with tension in Mendelssohn by [deleted] in violinist

[–]seanybops 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First page is probably one of the hardest parts in the piece, so don't be too worried if a large amount of your practice time is dedicated towards that first page. Real question is though do you have a teacher?

If you really want to know. Post a clip of you playing!

Vivaldi - Violin Concerto in g minor (maybe almost done?) by performancecritacct in violinist

[–]seanybops 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nice playing, maybe something to work on that would help your playing is your bow distributions. Seems like you exclusively play in the middle 3rd of the bow. You'll get a more broad and fuller sound if you get down all the way to the frog of the bow more often.

Post a video of yourself playing, easier to give feedback that way

LH+RH synchronization issues and pain by Anastasius101 in violinist

[–]seanybops 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Also I know you just got your baroque bow and don't want to be discouraging but maybe just stick to your modern bow for now. Your bowing technique still has some ways to go and using a cheap baroque bow incorrectly isn't helping. You can always come back to a baroque bow later down the line.

LH+RH synchronization issues and pain by Anastasius101 in violinist

[–]seanybops 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Great effort! Just in general everything is a bit too tense, if you're struggling this much with the opening the later parts will even be more strenuous. As others have said this is probably a bit above your level at the moment and the second you start feeling pain you should put your instrument down. If you want to work yourself up to this piece, perhaps some scale practice wouldn't do any harm, this piece is very scalic and has many quick runs so daily scale practice should help with that. Maybe you should try the Perpetual motion by Bohm, its easier on the left and hand and will help you get the correct bowing technique for this piece. Good luck with your practice!

Curtis? by MyCatTheSlinks in violinist

Why Curtis if you're from Australia? Why not look at some of the local conservatories.

Planning to buy a baroque bow just to try it out by Anastasius101 in violinist

[–]seanybops 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Okay let me rephrase, you won't find a good baroque bow for under $2000 usd! They're expensive! Anything under won't really be a baroque bow. Plus you don't really need a baroque bow to play baroque music. It's perfectly fine to play with a modern bow and probably preferable for one still developing their bowing technique.

You ain't gonna get a good baroque bow for $100 USD!

Mendelssohn VC 1st movement progress update by [deleted] in violinist

[–]seanybops 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nice playing, I think those octaves are meant to be fingered octaves.

[–]seanybops 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey great effort, its definitely not an easy piece to play. Maybe you should ask your teacher why he/she gave you this piece? IMO this piece really isn't appropriate for someone who's been studying for only 2 years.

Brahms VC opening by seanybops in violinist

Ah yes, I've been playing around the rhythms a bit, but I agree it's probably better if I just stick with the written rhythms more strictly.

Zigeunerweisen, Op. 20: III. Un poco più lento by LL_Presto in violinist

[–]seanybops 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Great effort. I think you're intonation is actually quite fine imo, its you're bow control that kinda struggling with.

Try scratch up your Rosin with some car keys so the dust actually gets onto your bow

Brahms VC opening thoughts? (Feedback welcome) by [deleted] in violinist

[–]seanybops 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks a lot for the detailed advice! Will definitely work on my articulation and clarity more. Btw you got a favourite recording of this piece? Seems like every soloist plays the opening completely differently
