  • For the final Cello Talk I went to Jordan Hall in Boston's New England Conservatory to let you hear the difference between French and Belgian bridges, and between three different A strings. Cameras on the stage and balcony captured sound close up, and distant - which is so much of what really counts.

    Mr. Finkel, thank you for taking the time from your busy schedule to post these treasures. I first listened to these last summer (2015) when I had my first cello lesson. I had my debut a couple of weeks ago, and though I don't yet call myself a cellist, I believe I contributed to the music. I've followed many of your tips since last summer including holding the instrument, bowing, caring for my instrument (I use the brass pad to clean the strings), string selection, vibrato, practicing and many other suggestions. I love that you are an A-list cellist, yet you often leave it up to the listener to decide what's best for him or her or the particular instrument. Very, very well done, sir! Thank you!

    Dear Mr Finckel, a million times thank you. I've only been playing for six months, and I do have a very good teacher here in England, but still, these videos have helped enormously to make be a better cellist. I was reading about your career and I really have no idea where you found the time to film and share 100 videos. But I am sincerely grateful that you did. Thank you for your generosity and kindness!!!

    These 100 cello talks have been an amazing guide to making myself a better cellist. Your impact on my playing and thinking has been tremendous. I couldn't have hoped for anything better to appear on the internet. I thank you from the bottom of my heart.

    Thanks David
    I started as a beginner four years ago, could not find a teacher but I found your videos on youtube. You have taught me from scratch and now four years later I'm in in the process of learning the courante from the first Bach Suite which is the last dance I need to learn before I have the whole first suite. I keep re watching the cello talks and I find something new every time. Thanks very much for such a priceless asset. The style is perfect. I now have found a teacher and she can not believe I learned to play from youtube. Many, Many thanks David.

    Hello there David. Thank you so much for the videos. I am a returner after 7 years of illness so that I find that nothing is natural anymore but I have been helped tremendously by your video series. Please continue to share your expertise with us. I particularly like the logical and scientific basis of your techniques and exercises, as lack of clear explanation caused me to stop training with my last teacher. Being told that something needed improving but not providing clear explanations or exercises to allow the student to improve is not useful. As a university lecturer by day education is only possible by a master really analyzing the stages they took to that point. I thank you again for your reflection and analysis. Christine UK

    Cool.
    It is more than a privilege to be a viewer. It is a blessing!
    I have watched them all, taken notes and I have been stunned at every single step and on every single video at how simple the items are that are discussed, yet how valuable and even profound the gems of your experience can be if viewed as something to draw from.
    Deepest thanks!

    I can't belive I found your account, it's awesome and it is being very helpfull, thank you very much. Could you please do a video with the fingermarks like they do to little children?
    But for a full cello, for making things easier you could say how many inches seperates them apart and wich notes each mark gives.
    I would be very pleased. (And lots of people)
    Thank you very much...
