It sounds like a thorough comment of the limitation of instruments. Bowed instruments require a lot of technique to use the bow properly. I played Double Bass for a time and understand a bit of it. For winds, well, the placement or shape of the lips to blow air is a lot of the way of making sound. Once, a friend taught a scale on the Oboe, another taught me some flute things and the placement of lips to do those things were totally different. Also the pressure you need to apply. Ha, ha, ha. There's a lot to say about it. 😅

So we are back to the technique, and practicing! Btw, what we are doing here?? :D We should go and study our scores.... (hey, I will have one performance with a choir somewhere in June, I got the score but I have not started to study it... and it is not easy 😬 First rehearsal next Friday 🤐
All roads lead to Rome. We can't escape technique. Ha, ha, ha. Hey, I need a to see a video of that! Well, you should be checking it out.
I should be working out, but my wrists are in pain from a lot of woodwork and study. So I'm resting this day off.
Better then just rest for one day or until you see you can play ! :)
Indeed. Maybe tomorrow I'll be better off. But I'm already in the part of sanding the instrument to apply sealant and then varnish. This is the toughest part. A whole workout for the arms. 😖
How are doing your wrists today?
I'm better. But still tired. Just had a sanding marathon as I'm on the last stages of a cuatro.
Oh my, hope you can finish it soon and rest a bit your arms and wrists. The mandolin will need it 😇
