Just purchased the two types in all 3 colors(Latex Free; Clear Plastic and Latex; Black, & Amber). Would reccomend to put the black and amber ones on wooden and carbon fiber violin horse-hair bows that are used inside than outside(the clear one would be best with Performances and concerts outside, since latex melts).

I am so happy that you have posted here, I have a 1915 German student bass that my cat knocked over about 10 years ago and no one would repair it and was told to just get rid of it. I almost did, but decided to just store it in the basement, that maybe someone would take on the project. Now ten years later your video popped up on my feed...it's a sign from God, you have made it accessible, thank you thank you thank you, you are a godsend

Hi Linda, Thanks for a great channel! You have a video on bow compatibility but the comments were turned off. What makes a bow less compatible? Construction, hair....? Thanks!

@mamawelder 3 ай бұрын

Bow compatibility has more to do with the stick and its resonant frequency and compatibility with the instrument. After sorting out which bows your instrument likes you , the player then has to determine which bow feels good in your hand and improves the overall tonal qualities of the instrument and assists you in with more technical maneuvering. There’s a lot of factors involved making bow selection more difficult than you would expect.

Hi Linda! I loved your video. It was very helpful. I am wondering if prefer or you’d recommend the Musilia S3 vs the Accord ultralight case? My daughter is at a music conservatory in Tokyo and she is very petite (with spaghetti noodle arms) so I want to get her the best possible option. Also, how long do these ultralight cases take to get in stock? Thank you!

Thank you, Linda. I took fiddle lessons for a year when I was 14-15 but haven't played in a long time. I recently -- at age 77 -- purchased my very first (and probably last) 'cello! It arrived with the bridge down, so this video of yours is a real godsend. I appreciate the clarity of your explanation and demonstration.

Thanks for making this video! Really helped to see the whole process. For the sanding part, just a tip I got from a coworker that might be helpful to someone -- put the sandpaper on a squishy surface like a rubber mat or folded cloth. That causes it to sink in/give a little bit, which makes the sandpaper hug all surfaces a little closer and more evenly, making it more forgiving when making the lentil shape on the end.

@mamawelder 8 ай бұрын

If you look close a sheet of cork was used as backing. With the silicon carbide paper it tears if the backing is too soft. Yes backing that gives a little does help.

I followed your excellent lesson and installed the Knilling Geared Pegs on my cello. I really like them! However, one of them is harder to turn than the others. What might have caused this? The peg was the right size and I only put glue around the outer edge. Should I heat the peg, remove it, and try again?

@LindaWestCellos 8 ай бұрын

When you threaded it in you may have made the head friction to tight. Does working the head loose and reseating help? The head pulls out about 3-4 mm to release friction and if pushed in increases friction.

@@LindaWestCellos Yes, indeed, you spotted the problem! The peg now turns as it should. Thank you so much, Linda!

@msplateaugal 8 ай бұрын

It was the G peg that gave me trouble. It is the hardest to wind because of its position. The G string has to be carefully managed while winding or it starts to pile up. Building on your suggestion with the head, I realized that the head had to be pulled out about halfway before winding where it seemed far too loose. But when I wound the string all the way, it balanced out. The other heads did not require this. Thank you again for helping so many of us with the great video. I absolutely love the Knilling Geared Pegs and believe that many others will now have the knowledge and confidence to install them You are remarkably generous with your time and expertise!

Hi Linda, I just ordered a Gewa Air, where the upper bound is reported either 36 cm or 355 mm. My cello seems to be 355 mm. I am a bit worried it wouldn't fit. I checkedmultiple options, but since my total length is 129 cm, I need the 130 long case that Gewa can offer. Bam models seem tobeonly 124 long. Any thoughts? The case should arrive in the next days, but my instrment is abroad, so I would travel the empty case by train to the instrument. Therefore after trying and realizing it isnot a good fit, I won't be able to return the case as it would be already used.

@mamawelder 10 ай бұрын

Is there a GEWA Air near you that you can check fit? FYI our dimensions are usually conservative.

Hi Linda, thanks so much for this tutorial. Could you show us as well how to center the bridge ? Mine is way more towards the A string. Do I have to loosen all the strings with the pegs and then move the bridge as I want ?

@mamawelder 11 ай бұрын

Slightly loosen the strings using the tailpiece fine tuners first to see if that’s enough. I hook my thumb around one bridge leg and grab the c bout edge ( in your case bass side) and tap the other leg with my finger tip. I have strong hands so I’m able to move the bridge often without loosening. Only under certain conditions and the adjustment is a few millimeters. If it’s way off center or an old cello or a cello with brittle or delicate varnish that may be damaged by scooting, I will loosen the strings and carefully recenter the bridge.

@kiwihans100 Жыл бұрын

surely its best to look along the neck when the strings are fitted and finely adjust the position of the bridge to ensure the strings leave the same space between the lowest and the highest string equally rather than relying on the ruler measurement from the f hole on each side. Secondly where were the fine tuners at the tailpiece end? You would have difficulty in tuning the strings correctly only using the pegs!
