Yes, and you have advanced path: tuning is the same and you know the role of bale in a group. The new will be posture, the left hand in a dapason without anything else, a pizzicate with more weight and, if you are interested, the arch.

Do you have to learn how to play with an arch?

It's up to your goals. For jazz and popular music, pizzicato is the main thing and for orchestra or classical repertoire, the arch is vital. Nevertheless, working some arch greatly helps tuning and sound, and so the teachers usually includes it.

What are home class with such a big instrument?

They are a great advantage: the teacher goes to your house in and around Bogotá and you have to transport the counterbottom. Just have a clear space, a suitable bench or chair and good light. If you prefer the virtual modality, place the camera far so that the complete instrument can be seen.

Is the backend very tipsy for his hands?

He wants strength and endurance, especially at first, because the ropes are thick and the distances are great. That's why we work with good technique, allowing the arm's weight to be part of the work, and with study sessions that are gradually prolonged. If you feel discomfort, discuss with your teacher to adjust the posture or height of the instrument.
