The Bowtech Podcast

Dear BowTechers,

I’m finding myself a bit restricted by the subject matter I laid out for myself in this podcast and so I am going to rethink a new podcast. Thanks so much to all of you who were listening. Please feel free to post any ideas you may have about the potential new podcast and if this is your first download please do go back and listen to the previous 36–there’s lots of good stuff there!

Thanks again.

Erik Friedlander

Ron is back this week and he answers questions as he impatiently waits for his viola to come out of the light box so he can finally hear what it sounds like! We talk about Dampits, old French Cellos, Simone Sacconi, angled endpins and more…

I bring in my carbon fiber baby to get a tough assessment from “Dr.” Ron. It’s rough going as we try and find a solution to the annoying buzzing string problem I seem to be having.
