Re: Playing in Public
Bravo Andy! When I first started performing in public (professional cellist, back in the day ...) I was so nervous. Felt like everyone in the audience would be a better cellist than I was. But in most cases, the audience is really there because (1) they want you to succeed, and (2) they admire what ...

Re: need music..
gerne geschehen!
We're in a winter drought here in southern New England. Only about seven inches snow so far, around 10 inches below average, and temps in the 50s.
But with electric rates now 40¢/kwh, and heating oil at $4.50/gallon - we're not complaining about the weather!

Re: Restoring old strings
Until others with more knowledge chime in, I'd say cleaning old strings would be for looks only. They'd look better, but the age - and possible damage by cleaning - could make them much more likely to break when tuned up. If you're really interested in playing that wonderful instrument, invest in a ...

Re: Practice Video - Danza Morena
Bravo Andy! Hands and fingers look at ease, and to me the zither sound is richer than in earlier videos.
Now if we could get more people out of the bars and off the beaches, maybe to stay inside and enjoy zither music!

Re: Practice Video - Basket of Turf
Hi Andy - when you say "new position", do you mean the position shown in the Basket of Turf video?
