I love your videos. Here's my problem. I have been playing since July of last year and I am still unable to get the cello positioned correctly. First, if the low peg is parallel to my left ear, it puts the point of the C bout digging into my left knee. If I raise the cello together my knee comfortable the scroll and pegs bang against my head. I am so frustrated. Thank you Billy.
I have a question for you. I bought a used cello and the G string is a little too short. It hangs over the nut about a quarter of an inch. I can play that string okay. In fact, it sounds quite good. But will it be a problem? Will it maybe damage the instrument or something? Should I be in a hurry to replace it?
Hello, I need your help , can I ask you a favor ( as a left-hander)can you play your cello on your right shoulder with your with hand in minus 1st position on the C string and tell me if it touches the pegs please. I cannot play the tradition way and want to know before I purchase. I stop violin ( traditional) at grade 6 ad want to take up cello. Thank you.
Wow, took a while to figure out the spider push-up. I didn’t know my hand could bend that way and I had to convince it to try. 😂 These old joints really feel the stretch! Super helpful and useful.
