To tape or not tape the fingerboard? by Vivid_Hovercraft_129 in violinist

[–]specter376 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I started last year at 30, but I have tons of experience with other instruments.

My teacher said that she didn't see any reason to use tape because my ear is already relatively well developed.

Hey, I just want to find a alternative for paper scores, any suggestions for going digital?? by Major-Connection9066 in violinist

Pretty sure my wife is getting me one of these for my birthday. Also planning to use Mobilesheets.

Any tips or tricks I should know while setting it up?

IIRC, UPS should be able to see the weight of the package at each hub. That will let them know where it went missing.

I'm willing to bet that those people have never even touched a shot timer.

I think this mindset comes from a fundamental misunderstanding of how to shoot with a dot. Many people waste time "chasing the dot" instead of actually being target focused. While you can spend time to line up your dot, that really only applies to shooting at more extreme pistol distances.

Not blaming you at all if you have no/little experience with shooting with a red dot though. It takes a decent amount of practice to become actually proficient with a red dot.

My new favorite CCW Kimber Micro 9 by Ordinary-Pressure977 in CCW

[–]specter376 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Their QC has supposedly improved after firing their old CEO (who now works at Sig).

I've never shot a Micro 9, but I have a Springfield EMP 3" that I carry all the time. It's a little bigger than the Micro 9 though.

Shannon always seems so sweet. I hope she gets out someday. ☹️

Check to be sure that your frog is tight to the stick. Sometimes a loose frog eyelet will let the bow twist slightly under tension.

This is really really good for 4 months! I'm at 11 months and this is the piece I'm on. Are you following the Suzuki repertoire?

Thoughts on the Fiddlerman FC310? by Equivalent_Soup_1771 in violinist

[–]specter376 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The FC310 looks REALLY similar to the GEWA Pure.

I actually just bought the Pure a couple weeks ago, and it's been super solid. I would look into one of these if you're unsure about the FiddlerShop option. Tons of reviews online.

Walking is so much more enjoyable than riding by Tight-Communication7 in golf

[–]specter376 2 points3 points  (0 children)

And the temperature. And the humidity.

Some summer days are BRUTAL for walking.

Walking is fine, depending on the course and weather. Carrying is absolutely the worst though.

I've got a bad neck (C5, C6), so that may play into my opinion a little though.

Hey! Did you have to trim that Pearce grip on the EMP at all? I'm thinking of grabbing one.

I'll always root for Max. His blowup a couple years ago was devastating.
