cellopera Posted October 29, 2023 Report Posted October 29, 2023 Daniel Bayle knew he would have no time in his hands when he retired as principal second at the Orchestre National du Capitole de Toulouse. Daniel had long cultivated a passion for making stringed instruments and now decided to play all his creations in his one-man ensemble.
Rue Posted October 29, 2023 Report Posted October 29, 2023 That is cool! Must be really satisfying to get to that point! All that hard work! ...but he looks so worried! ...maybe one of him was playing a tad out of tune?
Don Noon Posted October 29, 2023 Report Posted October 29, 2023 That's cool, but personally I find it nicer to have other people play them.
Brad Dorsey Posted October 29, 2023 Report Posted October 29, 2023 I like it. I assume he has some kind of straps or supports to hold the big ones in position. And he plays them under his chin because he is a violinist -- the reverse of the cellists occasionally seen playing violins in their laps.

As I'm finding out...it's surprisingly discombobulating to switch orientation.

Deo Lawson Posted October 29, 2023 Report Posted October 29, 2023 Can confirm, feels real good. And I get tons of dumbfounded looks at school. "You built that? ALL of it? Even the fingerboard??" For some reason fingerboards are a point of contention

This video shows that maybe in the near future orchestras will need only a few players--one violin player, one viola, one cello, one bass etc. A lot of instruments won't be needed anymore and the instrument making and care industry will crash.

I beg to differ. With my Orchestra, as soon as we exited the Corona restrictions, tickets sold out quickly. It shows that the digital world cannot replace the live experience of a concert. In Germany, there is currently a big push against digitizing selling tickets.
bungling_amateur Posted November 1, 2023 Report Posted November 1, 2023 The first thing that struck me was the lack of eye contact / interpersonal interaction between the "different" performers!
