Despite being fretted (underneath) the slide permits the performer to essentially tune 'on the fly' in performance real time. Not only is it an amazing instrument (both hands, feet, and knees all get into the fray!), it can work in all tunings. An aside: I maintain that some of best technical players are in the country / bluegrass range of fields. There are some real Paganini's out there. -- Brian Belet bbelet@sjsuvm1.sjsu.edu SMTPOriginator: tuning@eartha.mills.edu From: Johnny Reinhard Subject: re:Chestnut help PostedDate: 10-12-97 18:22:47 SendTo: CN=coul1358/OU=AT/O=EZH ReplyTo: tuning@eartha.mills.edu $MessageStorage: 0 $UpdatedBy: CN=notesrv2/OU=Server/O=EZH,CN=coul1358/OU=AT/O=EZH,CN=Manuel op de Coul/OU=AT/O=EZH RouteServers: CN=notesrv2/OU=Server/O=EZH,CN=notesrv1/OU=Server/O=EZH RouteTimes: 10-12-97 18:20:55-10-12-97 18:20:56,10-12-97 18:20:42-10-12-97 18:20:42 DeliveredDate: 10-12-97 18:20:42 Categories: $Revisions: Received: from ns.ezh.nl ([137.174.112.59]) by notesrv2.ezh.nl (Lotus SMTP MTA SMTP v4.6 (462.2 9-3-1997)) with SMTP id C1256569.005F4978; Wed, 10 Dec 1997 18:22:43 +0100 Received: by ns.ezh.nl; (5.65v3.2/1.3/10May95) id AA11856; Wed, 10 Dec 1997 18:22:47 +0100 Date: Wed, 10 Dec 1997 18:22:47 +0100 Received: from ella.mills.edu by ns (smtpxd); id XA11858 Received: (qmail 3710 invoked from network); 10 Dec 1997 09:22:43 -0800 Received: from localhost (HELO ella.mills.edu) (127.0.0.1) by localhost with SMTP; 10 Dec 1997 09:22:43 -0800 Message-Id: Errors-To: madole@mills.edu Reply-To: tuning@eartha.mills.edu Originator: tuning@eartha.mills.edu Sender: tuning@eartha.mills.edu
