Excellent music and example of TO position Arto!
It is a pity that we can't observe JH's LH and RH positions simultaneously. It looks as though he might sometimes be using the thumb, as Mark Wheeler suggested, to protect the bass from being hit in wider plectrum movement, but perhaps he is also stopping down?

His position is exactly that of a Turkish Baglama player who I saw a couple of years ago. This appears to be a lesson in Baglama playing, where we actually see basic TO technique explained: unfortunately, I don't speak Turkish.

Here is a another example of a Baglama player with what is probably an unusual RH (variable position) technique and some TO stopping:

Hi guys,

I found a very good example of excellent 6 course LH technique!
And btw, it is also left-handed. Extreme top level piece and performance, too! See
