Will, I'm getting a blank page with your link and I reaaaaally want to hear you as it is one of my favorites pieces! I would also, with your permission, like to add it to my music collection if at all possible!

Rostropovich does a real good job of this little jewel so I studied his style I try to play it in my guitar accordingly (my preferred guitar for these suites: Ramirez, Concert Guitar, 1979) It is not too bad to pretend I'm actually playing the cello for a change when I play the suites! :)

The one you usually hear by many is the Prelude from the No. 1 in G major, one more reason to treasure your interpretation. I love that one too!  

Cheers,

Bob

You are the man, Will! I enjoyed very, very much! Your guitar has an excellent sound and you did great! By the way, I can't save the youtube performance so I just liked it to my favorites.

Cheers

Bob

Will, you have very good guitar tone. I know that because I don't.

I play in a small recorder ensemble and we read a lot of Handel, Vivaldi, Telemann, A. Scarlatti, and others of that ilk; seldom Bach; I don't know why. There are many arrangements of Suites for recorder that aren't that difficult to play; perhaps the name scares people away.

Excellent Bach, however. I was wondering if you might like to repost this to the music blog.

Aloha Will , that was very nice . It's good to see the other talents of the members .  I know that member ramrod makes some nice leather watchbands , one of which I have .

Your guitar only has 4 strings I see ,...similar to a ukelele .

Yup it's a tenor guitar - tuned CGDA like a viola, and just one octave above a cello. So Bach's cello suites sit nicely on the instrument - one octave up!

How many of the cello suites do you play? Just curious.

A university course on proprioceptive writing issued a CD set of the cello suites to aid concentration. I told them I'd be able to concentrate better with silence because listening to the cello suites made it impossible for me to concentrate  on anything else.

      Minute repeater, stem and crown missing

      By Markie70 · Posted

      Hi all. This is my first post for repair advice so I’ll do my best to explain what info I’m looking for.  I have a minute repeater in a rolled gold hunter case but the stem and crown are missing. looking at the movement it is Swiss made and operates well. I’d like to make or purchase the stem but I’ve found a crown that fits. The case is a Thomas Russell & Son (Uk) but also marked Elgin so a US.case. the neck (if this is the correct terminology) that the stem goes through and into the movement doesn’t have any threads either internally or externally. My first question is, would this have a sleeve that goes in to the neck that the stem would go in to? I’ve looked tirelessly to find info on this particular movement for information on the stem configuration but everything I’ve found differs slightly from this. Some have stems screw in to the neck and some just sit in there. Second question, how would the stem be secured in place on this movement? I’ve found a another stem and crown and it winds well and moves the hands but it’s the wrong stem but the crown will be fine. Oh looks like the hour hand is wrong and it’s missing the seconds hand too. Anyway that’s it for now, there’s only so much I can digest. I look forward to your advice and hope for documentation on the correct stem/sleeve/crown  to get this beautiful watch running again. Many thanks  mark

      Timex M33 - A small repair

      By mbwatch · Posted

      Your diagnosis of a missing screw is probably correct - the tip of it should be visible in your photo but is not. However, installing the screw still may not fix the problem if the Date Click Spring (2576) is worn out. Those very thin metal parts can wear down where they insert into the plate, causing them not to stay affixed as well as they should. But replacing the screw first would be good to test. I do not think it is the same screw as in the rotor. In the M31 diagrams, the rotor screws appear shorter than the "short" pillar screw. But the screw threads should be the same for all the pillar screws, for all Timex movements. If you obtained a junk Timex movement from ebay or elsewhere and removed one of the regular pillar screws (5100), I expect it would fit that hole. I think you could use any Timex >M24 mechanical movement to get a fitting screw. If it was too long protruding and interfered with something on the back of the movement (like the rotor), you could file the tip of the screw down until it no longer got in the way. I suggest this because again, I do not expect a watchmaker to be willing to help you source this part.

      Hi All I’m Mark a new member from the UK. I have a long standing interest in clocks and very recently pocket watches. I ended up here after purchasing a minute repeater in a rolled gold hunter case and looking forward to seeing repair advice on this. I hope to have lots of fun with my new found interest and I look forward to hearing from you soon. Thanks Mark 👍

      No dial feet?

      By Neverenoughwatches · Posted

      Any way to fix dials to movements you can think of and more has been tried Glen. The dial is maybe not original, to the watch. The problem with dial dots, if the adhesive gets for whatever reason, they ease up on holding the dial in place. Attaching feet is a nice permanent solution, if you want to go to the trouble of it. Its a tricky process with risks however you do it. I'm not sure I've seen dials without feet before, but probably.  Often they are there and only push on to the movement with dial feet screws.
