Old World or New, Sacred or Profane
A blog of my adventures and challenges in learning cello as an adult. My intent is to play plain, simple music with fiddlers, harpists, singers, guitarists, and other amatuer musicians in the way it's been done by regular working folks for hundreds of years.
Old World or New, Sacred or Profane
About Me
- Terry
- Huntington Beach, CA, United States
- I'm a 56-year old computer professional and a 7 year cello student, determined to get reasonably good at the instrument, and maybe someday teach others. I also play a home-made washtub bass with a fixed neck, rather like a one-string string bass, designed by Lauren Miller and called a Tub-o-Tone.

Ooooh. I am not exactly sure if I am reading the diagram right. It either validates my entire approach or is completely at odds with it. :)
That has me wondering. I can't imagine how it might not validate your approach, but then I don't know what that approach is. I think the diagrams just show that the wrist (along with the elbow and the shoulder, of course) must bend to allow us to track in a straight line. Just another link in the linkage. Otherwise, the POC skates up and down, like beginners are prone to do.
But I don't think the diagram necessarily means we consciously bend it, or use force to bend it.
