wonderful influence ! for Chris Nolte http://www.alansondheim.org/influ1.jpg http://lounge.espdisk.com/archives/942 (listen!) influence between violin and Nepalese sarangi the violin is tuned in fifths and fourths the Nepalese sarangi is tuned in fourth, unison, fifth http://www.alansondheim.org/influ2.jpg this folk sarangi is difficult; the strings are the same diameter, and are more than a centimeter above the fingerboard. like a sarangi; the strings are stopped with the nails. but the three lower strings narrow, and I find myself playing two together, using both nail and finger between them. the fingerboard goes up to the fifth (approximately); after that, the nails press against the strings without support. wonderful! so both instruments influence each other here and I was astounded at the cross-overs; I also like thie music which is a kind of breakthrough! please give a listen. music http://espdisk.com/alansondheim/influ1.mp3 http://espdisk.com/alansondheim/influ2.mp3 http://espdisk.com/alansondheim/influ3.mp3 http://espdisk.com/alansondheim/influ4.mp3 final image http://alansondheim.org/influ3.jpg
