Most rubber stops don't properly stick to the floor, so you always end up “chasing your cello” as soon as you move a bit – and that conditions you against moving the body, which is both bad for playing-fun and later for expressive freedom. When I can't ram my pin into a carpet or wooden floor properly, I always strap it to the chair. (Or else, play in Baroque position without the endpin entirely.) | |
