    Shoe Care in London

    Left all my shoe things in Singapore; besides, I figured, I'm coming to the home of English shoes, right? Not such a good idea because I don't know where to start (apart from going down to Jermyn St and hitting everything). Would love to get an idea of what I can expect to find here, where, and...

    it's a pity mendelssohn passed away at...what? 37 or something. it's scary what he might have achieved otherwise. never heard it, sorry! (more likely that i've heard it, but never gone to find out what it was) is it a notable extract for the viola?

    his E minor? yep i've played it but i prefer to listen to it (and i do that often)...i don't do it justice perhaps when i get to looking at the piece properly again i've been listening to pieces with a strong viola part recently, i think i've developed a real keenness for that instrument...

    just a question to the other violinists here-- have any of you played/performed mendelssohn's octet in E flat? i've been hunting for a good recording of it and i think i might have found one today...no real reason for asking except that it's such an exciting piece, constructed so elegantly, i...

    sounds good. i'll go look for it at the record stores. spent an hour at the luthier over the weekend talking to him! found out a little more trivia about my fiddle as well as the bow that i'd broken. i think i will be going back soon to look for a new bow...

    yup, how much as well as how long it would take and whether it is in fact worth it, since i pretty much need a bow (i have another one but i don't like it as much) soon. dunno about that "cracked stick can't ever be repaired"--the last repair job didn't cost much and lasted me 1.5...

    yes, in fact most of the SSO musicians would be teaching on the side, i believe. SCO--the chinese orchestra?--that's an "ethnic" chinese orchestra, no violinists there. going to take the bow down to one of the luthiers to see what he can do. i just took a quick read of the document...

    now i love the viola (to be more precise, i like walton's viola concerto and mozart's sinfonia concertante) but some of the jokes about the viola are really pretty good. antirabbit i get what you mean...in fact when i said i had foudn someone it was only after speaking to my friend and telling...

    The best way to improve your bow technique would be to get a really good private teacher! You might even have to commute to NYC or somewhere once a week (I had friends in HS who did that) since the teachers aren't so great in your area, but you really can't just read about it... just like you...

    Sorry! I'm not laughing at you... it's just that anything more than a single adjuster for the E string just reeks of beginner student! Never never never never have more than one adjuster... please. And yes a wooden tailpiece will sound much better than a metal tailpiece. However it depends on...

    there was a little article in the local paper about the "late-period" Solomon ex-Lambert Strad just auctioned off by Christie's yesterday. a corresponding NYT article on the same instrument: http://www.nytimes.com/2007/04/03/ny...ei=5087%0A on another note, i have been using a metal tailpiece...
