Expert Village needs to look at their own videos. Very time-consuming!!

When my sound post falls over I just stand it back up. This philosophy works well in other areas too. I once tipped over a lamp. What did I do next? I just set it back up. MY Christmas tree fell over once. I just stood it back up. This works well in other areas too. I went to a bowling alley & knocked over all the pins. You know what they did? They set 'em back up. Then I saw a guy knock over an orange cone in a construction zone. Know what he did next? He set it back up. I was amazed. Genius.

@principepelleas No you don't, trust me, it is much more use in a language that one does not understand.

This was amazing. He told us we need a spare set of strings to change the strings. Wow. What a Pro. That would not have occurred to me. I have been wondering why my violin has not worked properly for the past 5 years. It is because when I attempted to change the strings 5 years ago I did not have a spare set of strings so I replaced them with thin air which turns out to be an insufficient substitute.

I watched 7 videos by the same person and still ended up not learning to change my strings

Great video, I appreciate your teaching. I feel much more confident in replacing my strings for the first time on my fiddle. My strings are really dead sounding and I want to put a new set on it but I was hesitant about it until watching this series of videos. Thank you!
