And I've done it for 60 years, so I should be getting it right by now. When world-renowned cellist Yo-Yo Ma says the word this, he points at his cello. Here's a link to the video: https://www.masterclass.com/classes...ection/chapters/meet-your-instructor-yo-yo-ma Did you really not understand what he meant, sitifan? Why didn't you give us the full context? Last edited: Oct 7, 2023
