If there was even a snowball's chance of that, I'd chip in and contribute..! ...

Wot 'e said 👆

You'll want 'Auto' mode, with preset 1 to 7, depending on colour required. Easy enough if you have the footswitch; do you have that..?

Ooo... I do soooooo hate it when that happens.

Just a tad above my budget, I'm afraid. I'd love to try one out, but I doubt that my cloth ears could justify 1200€, even if I had the money. I'd test one, though, if any were going spare for a few weeks...

From Wikipedia ...

'Lefty-ism' is a bell-curve for the population as a whole, and most folks are, in any case ambidextrous to some extent. At each end of this 'spectrum' there are those who are 'totally' righty or lefty, and some folk are plumb in the middle, at ease either way round. The earlier one takes the opportunity to reverse things, the easier it is to assimilate the change; even more important is the realisation that one has the capacity to do at least something 'the other way around'. Often stubbornness will prevail, of course : 'I can't do it, so I'll abandon, as I'm [righty|lefty (pick one...)]. Necessity often dicates the change, but it's always useful to try things out anyway, just for fun. Most folk can do much better than they may have thought possible.

Maybe historical..? Plucking and strumming are relatively new, for stringed instruments. The violin extended family have been bowed for centuries, and the left hand relegated to the slightly lesser role of simply holding down the string. Bowing required the dexterity of the dominant hand (and so 'right'...), and that has been carried over to the later members of the string family. Maybe..?

S'been a very, very long time since I could play any of that stuff..!

For those that play for money. Some folk just like playing, for little money, or even for none.

Could have been framed differently, though.

It took you a minute, though.

It's a shame that the video sound quality is so poor..!

I had a tiny item to send to UK, and saw the paperwork involved. Luckily, I know a local Brit with a cottage nearby who travels regularly around Europe and the UK. He took my tiny packet to Blighty and posted it from there; job done. The item will come back to me, in time, posted to my buddy in the UK for him to bring across on his next visit. It's a slow process, but avoids all the bumf nicely. Cheers, Adam..!

... and here's the 'mash-up'; my drums and Lenny's ... well, whatever Lenny does. I set the controls to the heart of the sun set my drums to his frenetic 131 bpm, that's all. Great team, eh..? Hors Concours, obviously, just for fun. (and apologies to Lenny...)

Well, despite 'stuff', I managed this ... Here is my contribution to the August 2022 Basschat Composition Challenge, inspired by a picture chosen by one of the previous winners: Upside Downer. Well, she said 'Platform 2, eight o'clock.' It's now... Let me see... Hmm... Half-past midnight. Maybe she's not coming..? I'll give it another hour or so... Can't get much more minimalist that this, this month. A few minutes of me, loosening up on the drums. It's an e-kit (Millenium MPS850...). Recorded 'live' (that much will be obvious; no re-dubs or editing at all...), directly from the module into a USB stick, and transferred to Reaper, so the sounds are those of the e-kit itself. No treatment, other than my standard Reaper NY Glue compression on the Master tracks, as usual. Thanks for listening, if you already have; if you're about to, enjoy.

28 is not 'just short of 30'..?

No chance of having 'em at the back, in the middle (behind the drummer..?)..? If not, I'd put one each side, just for spread. There may, technically, be 'dips' in the spread at certain frequencies, but I doubt anyone will be measuring, anyway. Have a great gig...

This 👆 is wisdom, but the downside is the risk of attempting to gild pure gold, and paint the lily. Better can become the enemy of Good, unless one is disciplined enough to know when enough is enough. Just sayin'.

Indeed not, but it was the Popular Music of its time, and nearly three centuries later, still gets played, worldwide. ... and, of course ...

The chord structure is shown here, and should be easy enough to 'wing', 'walking' from one chord to another in the style..? Sympathetique chords tab... It's easy-going, laid-back, with quite a lot of repetition, so shouldn't take too long. Good luck with it all; that sounds like a nice gig to get.

Born in Salzburg (1756...), in the Holy Roman Empire, Mozart showed prodigious ability from his earliest childhood. Already competent on keyboard and violin, he composed from the age of five and performed before European royalty. His father took him on a grand tour of Europe and then three trips to Italy. At 17, he was a musician at the Salzburg court but grew restless and travelled in search of a better position. While visiting Vienna in 1781, aged 25, Mozart was dismissed from his Salzburg position. He stayed in Vienna, where he achieved fame but little financial security. During his final years there, he composed many of his best-known symphonies, concertos, and operas. His Requiem was largely unfinished by the time of his death at the age of 35, the circumstances of which are largely uncertain and much mythologized.
