Shipping A Cello

13 November 2012 - 12:19 AM

I need to ship a cello from Houston to Hong Kong. Does anyone have experience with this?

Should I fly it there or put it on a slow boat to China?

Ombra Mai Fu - Jackie Evancho vs Henri Marteau

19 July 2012 - 01:51 AM

Just enjoying some music after work.  

I'm not a huge fan of voice or TV talent shows but I enjoyed this.



I hope the growing-up process only makes her voice better.

How is this relevant to violins? I haven't heard a better vocal emulation on the violin up til now as I'm listening to Henri Marteau on Spotify; very nice, silky smooth like 5W-30. I've never heard of him until now. What this piece needs is a vintage touch. The modern players can't touch this.

Here's Kreisler's, almost as good as Marteau's in my opinion.

The Sam Zygmuntowicz Video

Gizmodo wrote a piece about this HQ video a couple of months ago. It's the video that got me back into violin mode.  He's has a couple of videos on youtube. There's one where he's playing bluegrass on something with a lot of what he calls "sizzle".
