I'm glad spitfire is resurrecting these. Most are incredibly informative.

What a wonderful source of information and entertainment your videos are, thank you.

Lovely informative video. I especially liked the part where he went over some of the most common articulations.

Thank you for this very instructive video! By the way, are these two guys brothers? :D

[@spitfireaudiollp]

I think they'd both be flattered in different ways by that idea, but no. We make these videos because having never gone to music college I've always been to scared to ask what often seems the obvious! CH

Hahaha alright! Yeah, creating orchestral mock-ups tends to be such a technical task oftentimes, that you forget about the source and the capacities of an instrument/player very quickly. That's why I find these videos so helpful! Thanks again! Best, Martin
