Tightness
Hi there. Just a quick question. I played a wonderful modern instrument the other day and it had on the exact same strings I'm using but the tension felt looser and softer under the hands. Also, the strings were very flexible and there was a lot of air to the sound. Made me feel as if I was playing on gut strings. Is there any way to reduce the tension/tightness of the strings on the E and A? It had a very big sound with a lot of "air". Does this have something to do with the sound post? I just want my strings (especially the lower two), to feel looser under the left hand.
Thanks in advance!
