Thanks for the lesson Lynn! I love it when you talk about bones. You should consider a side career as a chiropractor. ☠️

[renartedelga]

Thank you very much, today will be the day to start ❤

[krishnaprema]

Thank you :-) shifting without shoulder rest (like Paganini) finds origin in baroque era :-)

[danielgaughan]

So nice that you do this. I am going to try and give more to content creators that provide wonderful things that help me. I just always seem to be broke (I’m trying to maintain four storage units with my books and it’s $1K/month and I’m losing the battle. But all my stuff takes all my time and weighs heavy on me. Perhaps if I downsize Incan actually have time to practice and buy a Decent bow.

PS: can I get a good bow for $300????

P.S.S. You play great. Just the short little samples sound beautiful.

❤

Thanks again.
