very
sticky!
hello!
ive run to a problem, which lies either in my
fingers, my strings or the fingerboard. ive got this problem for
half years already, and its got worse during last weeks.
the
fingerboard or the strings are very sticky, so that it is impossible
to shift with relaxed and secure feeling. i noticed the problem when
i put new prim strings on my cello last autumn, but i thought it was
the new strings. well, now i got new set of pirastro gold, and its
getting worse. i clean the strings and fingerboard regularly, since
my hands sweat a great deal during playing. the f-board was smoothed
a year ago and there is no disturbing gaps. i have no idea what is
to be done!
my wife has a cello where i find no problems, and
shes got prims on it, so the strings cant be the source of the
problem. im going to practise on her cello for a week so that i find
out if its my sweat or something (!).
do the luthiers put oil
or something to the f-boars after smoothing it? could the f-board be
of bad quality? is it possible my sweat can be corroding the
f-board? anyone have same problem?
