Violoncello da Spalla, Music Culture: Essential Or Not?

Violoncello da Spalla, Music Culture: Essential Or Not? In this video, you are invited to my workshop to hear the sound of the newest Violoncello Da Spalla made for a graduate of the Juilliard School of Music and a wonderful human on a mission. And - in this video - I won't say a word, but...
You might argue, 'Who needs a Violoncello da spalla? Who cares?'
If this is you, and you are a violinist, thank you. I am really grateful for your great insight. Give me one more chance: I believe, nobody needs musical culture anyway.
Nobody needs violins, violas, cellos...
Nobody needs symphony orchestras, conservatories, musicians or music.
Here is what I mean: it is what this culture gives that people need. Maybe they don't know though and do not appreciate.
It is a little bit like nobody needs pans, knives or forks.
What people need is the enjoyment of a fine food, preferably in a heart-warming company of trusting friends. Makes sense?
Music is the same. Music is a powerful form of expression that has the ability to convey emotion, tell stories, and bring people together. Plus, there is a lot of coded wisdom in it: it does not open up immediately. Music is similar to a book. First, majority of people begin by simply recognising the letters. Then - the words. Then - the sentences. And then - the meaning. But, the good news is, since there are no words in music, there is just the meaning, and that can be understood even by children not even born yet, the truth is, we experience music in mom's womb first.
I feel, it's kind of a cool thing, and when people realise this - they can still chose to be evil but probably they won't.
People need musical instruments because they happen to be the tools used in music, that universal language that can transcend barriers of language, culture, geography.
Music culture, even if it is not about the mainstream musical instrument or repertoire, is important because it reflects the values, traditions, and identity of a particular group of people.
Through music, cultural traditions can be preserved, and new traditions can be created. In my opinion, this is priceless. This can even make peace possible... but perhaps more musicians are needed who dares to speak about music. Because if musicians don't, who will?
Music culture can also promote understanding and respect for diversity, as people can learn about different cultures through their music. This can contribute to a more tolerant and peaceful world.
Furthermore, music culture can also be a platform for social and political commentary, bringing attention to issues that might otherwise be ignored.
In summary, it is not about spalla, it is about the music culture matters. And this is why YOUR are essential. Do you agree?
And the spalla is a symbol of what happens when people take culture for granted or with closed minds: it disappears without a trace.
Are you getting it?
I hope you found some practical or at least spiritual value in these words.

Great, i will be, i would ask you , can you make a Viola the perfect size 20" similar Cello style for easy play? Or anything for help the body support the instrument so in the world that instrument play to max of the resonance.... Because is very hard for hands finger and body play my Viola 16.5" or if possible on your Cello change String for Viola and for the string C i think that its ok!! Thanks

Thank you, thank you, thank you! Um... have you already tried this instrument as it is? I am just wondering, how do you seem to know for sure that this instrument is harder to play than a 16.5" viola? Thank you.

@@badiarov Sorry, I misunderstood myself , I mean, that the viola is a difficult instrument because I play it and it is 16.5" , and I wonder why not build the measurements of a perfect viola of about 20" as it finally should be with the characteristics of your shoulder cello, you would solve one of the problems of the orchestra that plagues these musicians who unwillingly decide to study the viola that does not resonate as resonance and you are forced to take large measurements and it becomes uncomfortable to play it, whereas if it was played like the shoulder cello it could take on similar characteristics, and I was asking if you could think about this project, I translated with an app because I don't speak English very well I hope you mean what I'm trying to say, I thank you

@@alexflare5214 Thank you for your comment. The larger viola you referred to did exist between the 16th and the first half of the 18th centuries. It went out of use because symphony orchestra viola players no longer wanted to use them. The variety of violas, playing postures, sound aesthetics, and pitches all existed and were replaced with the uniform approach known today.
However, you may encounter some of this lost musical culture revived in Early Music circles. Some modern musicians, including some of my clients, use the discoveries of Early Music to enrich modern music culture. I hope this information is helpful.
