Hello, here comes the second part, third will follow soon. I Am really curious what triggered the block (it was not in the first half of the mail).

In advanced playing, the open strings are of not much importance for the keys you play in (not more than for the violin for example). The open strings are seen as registers that can be combined: A typical set up with three strings would be: * c - small C or C3, the note one octave below Middle C * g - small G or G3, the G below Middle C * g' one-lined G or G4, the G above Middle C allowing to play in any keys in these three ranges and to use the following combinations: octave parallel, duodezim parallel (very nice), fifth parallel (and all three at once). The choisse of drones is much more important for the keys you play in: they should be choosen after the roots prefered by the instruments you want to play with (the traditional relation between the pitch of open strings and drones is not a must - its just comfortable) to be coninued soon.... -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "hurdygurdy" group.
