      Good point about the ear damage! A friend of mine uses a mute almost exclusively (except at sessions) for that very reason. I stay away from the mute because I’m afraid it may hide any squawks and screeches that incorrect bowing would cause. 😉
      A friend of mine is classically trained and recommended practising arpeggios. All helps I’m sure!

      Thanks, I’ll check those drones out! Both of these emails help. It’s nice to know that the instrument sounds different to the listener than the player. Sometimes it’s nice to just hear that it’s a common problem. 🙂
      In the meantime, that’s for tunes. This is another matter and probably a separate post topic, but I find songs a lost cause. Harmonizing songs with long notes and/or chords I mean. I find that way more daunting than tunes, again because of tone.
      Thanks guys, good luck yourselves!
