I reccomend Angela Moneff, who makes benchmade instrument copies of the Guarneri del Jesu violin. The sound is brilliant on the E string and resonant on the G string... It&#039;s amazing for its price range :) Wed, 18 Mar 2009 15:33:22 -0700 http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/5968152 http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/5968095 Any other musicians out there?

I have an audition coming up next month, and I am really nervous. Does anyone have any tips for practicing or advice? I have to play the first minute of this song (video included). Thanks.<br /><br />Play WITH LOTS OF FEELINGS AND DYNAMICS. If you miss notes, you will still show feeling and not play like a stick. It will make YOUR audition memorable as the one who played with feeling and the judges will pay attention to ya.

I don&#039;t think you can actually access a site without wifi. To take a screenshot: press the home and power buttons simultaneously. The screen will flash and the shot will turn up in your saved photo...

The next time you plug it in it will tell you if it is damaged or not.

It can&#039;t hear you talk like the iPhone.

But then she also downloaded a movie onto my iPod and I don't want it...but it doesn't seem as if I can delete it. How do I delete it? It took up a lot of GB<br /><br />When you sync the iPod on your computer, you will be able to erase the movie... I have the itouch and there&#039;s a tab that you press that says videos. It says check all that you wish to sync. Just uncheck the video that your friend downloaded.
