Of course the bridges were not installed, but there were detailed instructions.<BR/><BR/>I would think that a student would notice a big difference between the set up of his guzheng and the one he takes his lesson on. If he brings his own guzheng to the lesson, you would think that the teacher would help get it set up correctly. <BR/><BR/>A guzheng teacher in Portland charges more for lessons if the student does not buy their instrument from the store where she works.<BR/><BR/>Best wishes,<BR/><BR/>DavidAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1372000705507727361.post-3479378834638208642007-11-29T05:30:00.000-08:002007-11-29T05:30:00.000-08:00I've never seen those plastic in a roll, so I was ...I've never seen those plastic in a roll, so I was just guessing. *haha*. I am supposed to have a made-up one (in L-shape) somewhere, which is one of the little "goodies" that the little boy brings back sometimes (simple thrill for a kid).<BR/><BR/>Like these sticks he brought back one day. *haha* Traditional Tools!<BR/><A><BR/>href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2372/2073812850_379827305c_m.jpg">http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2372/2073812850_379827305c_m.jpg</A><BR/><BR/>Regarding long videos, no point compressing it too much. The images would become too low in resolution to watch other than on your handphone (!!). I had to resort to breaking up my 12-min Phantom of the Opera performance into 2 parts using moviemaker and uploading to youtube. I gave up using blogger video function for videos that are on the larger-size. Takes too long to upload only for me to find out it doesn't work. 8(Karmeleonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00741439957163979032noreply@blogger.com
