Inappropriate language warning!
January 6th, 2008
If you have delicate sensibilities, stop reading this post right now. I need to discuss a string instrument curse word: P-R-E-S-S.
WI cellists are discovering that the secret to a good sound lies in a soft bumpy thumb.
Cellists who produce a good sound are a lot like graceful athletes. All of their muscles are loose, balanced, and relaxed. Notice if your thumb muscle is sore. If your hand is tired, it means you are pressing. So breathe, relax, and think “soft”!
