can you explain to me how you do your staccato? do you tense up your arm? if you do, how do you get it at various speeds?

@violaplayer1995 Hi, I tense up my arm for some of the faster runs, but there is definitely wrist involved to give a little control over speed.

Hey I play viola and i am a big fan. Would you mind explaining to me what equipment you use to record this. Excellent video

Just a couple of smalll condensers and a laptop. Really basic for this kind of stuff. I dont have much in the way of fancy equipment, its mostly in mic placement then just play through.
