Top 5 Essentials For STRING PLAYERS!

Ever wonder what a professional classical musician keeps in their case? Does a single dirty ear plug come to mind? Because that's what we're dealing with here...apparently. In today's video, I explore the unknown and mysterious contents of my viola case, and then give a rundown of my Top 5 (or maybe Top 7?) essential string products that I cannot live without! I have spent the last 18+ years trying out different products and accessories for violin and viola (from mutes to shoulder rests to rosin to strings to pegs to chin rests to anything else you can think of!) and all of the products I mention in this video are tried, tested, and true! Links to everything I use or talk about in this video can be found below.
