Hmm, I had randomly noticed that 4th position align with a 5th up from the open string tuning, but hadn't realized that all the positions move up the string via the diatonic scale.
Do you have any tips on extending 4th position? My notes are always out of tune even though I'm literally trying to stretch my fingers to the next continent
I dont know if you going to answer this comment but it's little emergency for me. Yesterday i was trying to tune my cello and i realize my d string is not tuning, i turned it like 10 or 11 times but it was doing nothing. İ take off it to check what is going on and i see that top part of my string its colored blue is break off and it was inside of peg. I freak out and dont know what to do those are was my new strings and luthier did put those on. Please help me.
No worries - the string broke and if you luthier is nice, they can give you a "shop string" otherwise you may have to buy one (and an extra for the future) because strings break. If the string does snap in the hands of your luthier, they will replace it. All other cases for broken strings the player must purchase one. As for that blue threading, it is there to keep the string from flying off when it snaps. A safety measure
The simplest and best explanation of the geography and navigation of the positions that I’ve seen. Now it looks so obvious. Thank you!
You're very welcome!
I love this. So simply explained and easy to grab. Thank you
Glad it was helpful!

Yes they do and good observation
I’m a little disappointed my teacher never told me this. Lol. Seriously though, this is so helpful!
Thank you so much 🎶💯👍
Thanks for listening
