Quante volte, con una buona forma fisica, una tecnica sicura, una buona conoscenza…
The pursuit of beautiful soundin our instrument passes, in addition to the taste of the performer and the fashions dictated by the great names of the moment, for the different ways of posing the moving parts that, between the instrument and the instrumentalist, play a decisive role in defining the timbre, i.e. the quality of the sounds produced.
