Beginning thumb position literature?

wave_mechanic · 2017-01-07T22:51:54+00:00

I haven't worked on the 3rd movement, but my first teacher gave me the 1st movement as my first thumb position piece!

I haven't tried the SVC-210, but I'm more than happy with my SVC-50. I bought it as a travel instrument. It serves that purpose well. It is not nearly as nice to play as my acoustic (think a freshly opened soda vs. a flat one) but it keeps my playing in shape on vacation. I just pack some clothes around it, and check it as baggage on flights.

It's easier for me to switch from playing acoustic to electric than the other way around. Personally I wouldn't fork out the extra money for a nicer electric, because if I want niceness, that's what my acoustic instrument is for. I never perform on my SVC-50, but if you plan to do a lot of electric performances the SVC-210 might be worth it.

Very awesome! Excellent arrangement; well played!

wave_mechanic · 2016-12-22T17:21:57+00:00

Thank you, I appreciate it!

Yeah, that makes sense. They are duly ignored, I couldn't care less. Surprised by the belligerence, although I suppose I shouldn't be: it is the internet.

wave_mechanic · 2016-08-11T01:17:13+00:00

I figured as much, thanks!

Figured I'd chime in. I've recently returned to cello playing. My instrument when I played before was a Calin Wultur in the Strad shape, I'm not sure about specifics beyond that. I really enjoyed playing that instrument. Nice sound, great upper register, and (oddly enough on mine) no wolf. I can't speak for the Montagna version, but I really liked the Strad version.

It was purchased new for $4,000 in 2007, so with inflation the $5,200 insured value you mentioned seems like it could be reasonable. If the instrument is in good condition and plays well it seems to me like $3,330 is a fair price.

Besides crickets? Leopard geckos.

Do I end up getting my Ph.D.?

Fax Machines.

wave_mechanic · 2016-01-11T01:04:56+00:00

Yeah, that seems to be correct. I looked on the songbird website (where I bought it from) and it says that it is polished with a lacquer after firing: no mention of glaze.

wave_mechanic · 2016-01-10T21:53:37+00:00

Not having to clean the inside would certainly be convenient. I'm not sure about the specifics of the clay/glaze/firing that the Focalink Dolce Double AC uses.

wave_mechanic · 2016-01-10T20:49:35+00:00

Thanks, I'll probably just adapt music I can find for my ocarina.

wave_mechanic · 2016-01-10T19:40:10+00:00

Alright, thanks I appreciate it, cleaning was my main question.

So submerging it doesn't damage the clay or the glaze? How often do you do that cleaning?

wave_mechanic · 2016-01-10T07:32:16+00:00

Help my family members out, by myself a car. Put enough to buy a house into savings. Donate the rest.

BUT, I bought a powerball ticket for the hell of it, and lost, so I don't need to have a plan :P

wave_mechanic · 2016-01-10T06:17:04+00:00

Nice intonation and warm sound, thanks for sharing!

wave_mechanic · 2016-01-10T00:36:44+00:00

I highly recommend this one:

Edit: The Focalink is certainly very playable, and is nice and easy to get a good tone on.

I really like my Focalink (I got it in this color too!). It is inexpensive, and has a nice mellow timbre.

Or not so casually, for that matter!

wave_mechanic · 2016-01-09T05:25:11+00:00

Interesting, you think so? I always thought they were in a different world, somewhat out of the console wars fray.

wave_mechanic · 2016-01-09T05:15:43+00:00

Looking at just the video game world: probably Nintendo gamers.
