Hi, Hailer.

Good stuff…and welcome to the site!!

I’ll pass these thoughts onto the folks who handle that coding. That definitely sounds like it would take some development to add, but we’re always looking for ways to improve the user experience…

Hi there
I’m new to the site and I’m really pleased, the looping feature is great but difficult to use, it’s hard work to return to a precise loop point. It would be great to thumb wheel down to a start and stop point, then store clips for later recall. Another possibility could a 3rd party editing product be used to give us more flexibility with looping?

Hi Sharon, Well in your case I would repeat the adage, “Where there is a Will, There is a Way.” …I do recall in fiddle workshop I went to where the instructor pretty much made us feel like wimps and whiners if we complained of any handicaps, physical or otherwise that might hinder us.

I so appreciate your suggestions. I have exhausted all these avenues but with a minimum of improvement. The problem is with the first joint closest to the nail. It has very little flex ability and wearing the braces is even more restrictive. I have made an elastic loop that goes around the bow stick and my middle finger. That is to ensure I do not…[Read more]

Hi Jim & Casey, yes that is a tough problem to have and the bow hold is so important. About the only thing I can suggest is look into Physical Therapy there may be some exercise movement to deal with your specific pain location and strengthening does help. Other than that you might experiment with a different Bow Hold that still allows you…[Read more]

Hi, Jim. I don’t have any advice specific to arthritis…perhaps @roland does??

The only thing I might suggest is stretching your hands/thumbs for 5 minutes before & after playing…I know that is a good idea in general, and I would think it would at least help some??

I feel your pain, sir…I’m a week out from having my left thumb ope…[Read more]

Does anyone have tips for a problem with arthritis in the thumb of the bow hand? I have a brace, have had injections, and have tried adjusting my bow hold. Any advice at all would be appreciated.
