is dedillo the same as redobles - fast, single line
passage(s)?
one could work up a good sized blister on the end of
your finger doing this - real quick. a pick is so
much better.

Dear Ed, Rob and All:
Isn't all Indian sitar playing dedillo? That is, I
believe the strings are
plucked exclusively with the right-hand index
finger, onto which is fitted
a pointed wire loop, which serves as a plectrum.
(Shades of Francesco's
silver thimbles!) There must be somebody out there
who knows more about
this than I do
My point is not that there is any connection
between the art forms, only
that the great Indian musicians have demonstrated
that it is possible to
produce virtuoso music with this technique, albeit
with a plectrum of
sorts.
Cheers,
Jim
