this is a great thread!

I've heard some violinists say that intonation on the cello is more forgiving and less critical than on violin. I have yet to be convinced (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)


Surely dodgy intonation is just as noticable on a cello?


It certainly is on mine! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

I think the idea is that because the cello is larger, the space between pitches on the cello is greater, so the "radius of accuracy" on a cello is wider.

though I won't say intonation is not a problem on bigger instruments..it certainly was a deal easier on the double bass (can't speak for cello sorry as I have not played the cello)
