When I first learned the violin I had a bent wrist and although some would point it out it never really got fixed. My wrist would rest over the violin's neck, and it became a bad habit. Its now extremely hard to go more than a few measures now without switching back to this position. Its the main bottleneck causing my intonation and vibrato issues. Does anyone have any tips or ways to get over this?

A teacher once told me the intonation of two notes played simultaneously is different comparing to that played one after one, for one note at a time, I can find the EXACT pitch of notes by looking at the open strings (whether they're vibrating when playing GDAE notes on other strings) or a tuner set to 440khz, but, how can I find out if both of my double-stop notes land on the "correct" pitch if they're "different than exact pitch"??????????????????

Nearly everyone who takes the time to look at my recent scores wants an explanation for the markings ... so here is a draft that names them and begins to discuss the how and why. www.hartenshield.com/intonation_draft.pdf

I've read some very helpful comments from people here about string tuning and technique. Here's a folk song trio, tunes from the Baltic area (Lithuania, Estonia, and Latvia). I'm marking the score and parts with intonation markings. Haven't yet written the preface to explain it all, but hopefully the markings are pretty self explanatory for mostly ordinary tonal music. Score at http://www.hartenshield.com/0082_folk_song_suite.pdf Recording https://soundcloud.com/williamcopper/0082_folk_song_suite It's 'tuned electronic' and intended to be a demo of the work, not a replacement for live performances!

I don't have much feedback from string players, but I've begun notating all scores with intonation markings. The recent "Romance" for violin and orchestra as an example. Dare I keep on with the practice, or are my string player friends going to rebel?
