For the final Cello Talk I went to Jordan Hall in Boston's New England Conservatory to let you hear the difference between French and Belgian bridges, and between three different A strings. Cameras on the stage and balcony captured sound close up, and distant - which is so much of what really counts.

  • Thanks for doing your series. I've only begun to plow through them and now I'm disappointed there are only 100. Best wishes for your future career.

  • David, thank you for your great generosity in sharing your knowledge and experiences - and most of all, of course, your music. I have watched all 100 videos and with this being the last . . . well, I guess I'll go back and do it again! I feel you are a friend. All the best to you and Wu Han!

  • I can't belive I found your account, it's awesome and it is being very helpfull, thank you very much. Could you please do a video with the fingermarks like they do to little children?

    But for a full cello, for making things easier you could say how many inches seperates them apart and wich notes each mark gives.

    I would be very pleased. (And lots of people) Thank you very much...

  • Cool.

    It is more than a privilege to be a viewer. It is a blessing!

    I have watched them all, taken notes and I have been stunned at every single step and on every single video at how simple the items are that are discussed, yet how valuable and even profound the gems of your experience can be if viewed as something to draw from.

    Deepest thanks!
