Do you use a composite or aluminum tail piece?
Composite. Happy fiddling!
ON the last reply ( use a “composite” or Aluminum Tailpiece ;
I heard about and SAW “HARP” tailpiece , where the E-string , other side of the bridge , is shorter as the other strings; and A-Str. shorter as D&G-str. etc !
Heard of any HEARable difference , even harmonics, or Flageolet.Playing ..? THX .
I am HONESTLY , a bit dissapointed that U show not on Sheetmusic the Advanced-Tunes with triplets, Ur “Ornamentation of the tune, and not much BOWING patterns, over the Whole tune !
Maybe after “learning” U find WE ourselves should find OUR way to play a certain piece ..?
OK ..HEARTly REGARDS fr Willem ( WILlex ) fr Germany , (but I AM DUTCH ! ).
