Roger Linn Design • Re: Playing surface mod for improved ability to feel the center of the pads

Or is this a non-issue given sufficient practicing and experience?

I'll take "non-issue" for a thousand.

Think about, Rich... When's the last time you actually thought about where your fingers were, in real-time, whilst playing your instrument? Muscle memory is everything, in terms of proficiency, and renders any and all conscious thought redundant.

There simply wouldn't be enough time to feel, let alone acknowledge, the Braille bumps, in the middle of a fast passage; especially if they were on every note.

Think of the bumps on your QWERTY keyboard, on the F and J keys... They're fine for reorienting yourself maybe, when your fingers are at an idle; but once you start typing, they all but vanish. And if they were on every key, you'd have no idea where you were anyway.

To that end, the LinnStrument is a lot more forgiving than most fretless instruments, and they've never held anyone back.

So, ya, practice and experience...



Cheers!
