At least I got a non-laminated one. :0)<br />I just finished cleaning it up and setting the bridge and doing an initial tuning, and will let it set a day or two to allow the strings to stretch.<br /><br />Vera references Potters book and Schroeder's book as well.<br /><br />I played woodwinds and brass years ago, but never strings. At least I still remember how to read music.<br /><br />I'll send you an email for the excerpts, thanks so much.<br />I may start documenting my progress on my art blog.<br /><br />Thanks for sharing your Cello journey.<br /><br />~JohnJohn Garretthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03239247927329310657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4368739163556879673.post-55784287891263176862012-02-07T15:18:25.496-07:002012-02-07T15:18:25.496-07:00David Finkel is AWESOME!! It want to meet him some...David Finkel is AWESOME!! It want to meet him someday, or attend a concert or something! :).<br /><br />Vera Jiji's book references The Art of Cello Playing by Louis Potter, Jr. as an Etude I think. <br /><br />Also, Cassia Harvey's etude books are wonderful: http://www.charveypublications.com/beginning-cello-books.html<br /><br />They start off fairly slow, which was great for me since I've never played an instrument before. If you have, this might be too slow. <br /><br />I can email you the first few pages of the Etude books I have so you can figure out which one you'd like. If you're interested you can email me at geminicello@gmail.com. I purchased a lot of them so might as well put them to use!Gemini Cellohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04883738004233218440noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4368739163556879673.post-20283909837323381252012-02-05T11:23:08.128-07:002012-02-05T11:23:08.128-07:00I also like David Finkel's Cello Talks, so muc...I also like David Finkel's Cello Talks, so much information to absorb. I am up to 50 now.<br />I am starting out with Vera Jiji's book, though I need to get an Etude book as well.<br /><br />~JohnJohn Garretthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03239247927329310657noreply@blogger.com
