I'm getting excited! I hope to gather some opinions about my rosining technique, tweaking my upper octave tangents (anybody have a metal shaft one with a high wooden flag that won't bind the upper, close-together keys? that's what's popped into my head. My current tangents are the metal ones with silicone sleeves and brass u-shaped feet, I've cut the silicone sleeves to make more room up there.) and why I can get my distal (don't know how else to distinguish it) chanterelle to sound good, but my open proximal one never does, no matter what I do (rosining, polishing, cottoning, shimming). Not being either a luthier or an experienced player, I get frustrated and disengage it.
Looking forward to classes, the slow session and maybe even working into the full speed ones, and, of course, all the wonderful people.
